Abstract

An experimental study is performed to obtain an average heat transfer coefficient around the perimeter of a near horizontal tube. For the test a stainless steel tube of 50.8 mm diameter submerged in water at atmospheric pressure is used. Both subcooled and saturated pool boiling conditions are considered and the inclination angle of the tube is changed from the horizontal position to $9^{\circ}$ in steps of $3^{\circ}$. In saturated water, the local boiling heat transfer coefficient at the azimuthal angle of $90^{\circ}$ from the tube bottom can be regarded as the average of the coefficients regardless of the tube inclination angles. However, when the water is subcooled the location for the average heat transfer coefficient depends on the inclination angle and the heat flux. It is explained that the major mechanisms changing the heat transfer are closely related with the intensity of the liquid agitation and the generation of big size bubbles through bubble coalescence.

수평에 가깝게 설치된 튜브 원주면에 대해 평균 열전달계수를 결정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험을 위하여 대기압 상태하의 물속에 잠긴 50.8 mm의 스테인리스강 튜브를 사용하였다. 과냉 및 포화 풀비등 조건을 모두 고려하였으며, 튜브 경사각은 수평으로부터 $9^{\circ}$까지 $3^{\circ}$ 간격으로 변경하였다. 포화상태에서는 튜브의 최하부로부터의 방위각이 $90^{\circ}$인 위치에서 측정한 국소비등열전달계수가 평균값으로 취급될 수 있으며, 이러한 경향은 튜브 경사각과는 무관함을 확인하였다. 그러나 물이 과냉상태인 경우, 평균 열전달계수의 위치는 경사각과 열유속에 의존한다. 열전달을 변화시키는 주된 열전달 기구는 액체교란 강도 및 기포군집에 의한 큰 기포 덩어리의 형성과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 설명된다.
