    INTRODUCTION

    Tubular film evaporators are used in the desalina

    tion of seawater, suspension concentrations, and sewage treatment. However, relationships for calculatingheat transfer in these apparatuses are insufficientlyperfect, which, when designing plants, leads to unreasonably high dimensions and metal consumption. Theproblem of creating a stable film flow and avoiding theformation of dry spots or film breakdown on the surface of evaporator tubes, which causes a decrease incapacity, is also not solved. The main heat transferprocesses in an evaporator are boiling and film condensation. The combination of a large number of factors that affect these processes makes the generaliza

    tion of procedures for calculating apparatuses ratherdifficult. The objective of this study is to investigateheat transfer in condensation and boiling in a tubular

    evaporator with smooth and rough surfaces undergravity flow of a water film and derive relationships forcalculating the heattransfer coefficient.

    COMPUTATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

    Characteristic relationships for calculating theheattransfer coefficient in a turbulent film in boilingare given in Table 1.

    stantial disagreement (Fig. 1). The observed scatter invalues can be explained by different experimental pro

    cedures and narrow ranges of physical and designparameters. As a rule, the cooling of the upper layers ofa falling film during evaporation from its surface is nottaken into account at low heat fluxes. The regimes ofheat transfer that are caused by heat duty are not takeninto account. Known data on the effect of helicalroughness on heat transfer are scarce, which requiresadditional studies.

    In the turbulent flow of a condensate film, equations for calculating heat transfer are usually expressed

    in terms of dimensionless numbers (Table 2) as =f(Recond, Res, Pr, Cr, Ga, K).

    An analysis of the relationships given in Table 2 hasshown (Fig. 2) that they adequately describe the process only in the ranges in which they are derived. Thisis explained by the complexity of heat and mass transfer, in which the nonuniformity of temperature andmass fields; the variable composition of a gassteammixture; and, accordingly, the variations in the physical properties of steam and condensate are observed.

    In the case of high steam flow rates (movingsteam), the influence of shear stresses at the interface

    HEAT TRANSFER IN CONDENSATION AND BOILING 361

    causes an increase in the velocity and a decrease in the

    thickness of a condensate film, as well as the formationof waves on its surface, which, depending on the flowregime, has an enhancing effect on heat transfer.These phenomena are also not reflected in knownstudies into condensation.

    Under the conditions of the downward motion of acondensate film, with allowance for friction at thephase boundary, it is proposed to determine a heattransfer coefficient for moving steam from Eq. (8)(Table 2). However, in a descending cocurrent flow,three regimes of the interaction of a gas with a liquid

    with different intensities of heat transfer are observed[15], the boundaries of which depend on both theinner diameter of a channel and the Reynolds numberof the gas. For a turbulent film flow and the prevailinginfluence of steam, formula (7) (see Table 2) is proposed in [21], according to which there is a considerable influence of the condensate film on heat transfer

    and the effect of shear stresses, the determination of which is experimentally complicated, is evaluated through steam contents x1andx2.

    Equation (6) (see Table 2), proposed in [17], whichis recommended to be used at Res > 25000, where

    cond which is in agreement with the data [15]obtained in the case of the heating of a water film in adescending cocurrent flow in the transition flow

    region, is of interest. In addition, dimensionlessparameter K, which takes into account the influence ofthe interphase transition is introduced into the equation. However, Eq. (6) (see Table 2) does not include theparameter Recond; therefore, it can only be valid in astudied range of condensable steam flow rates.

    In the case of the condensation of an airsteammixture, additional resistance to steam transport tothe condensation surface is produced due to the formation of a boundary layer that consists of noncon

    densable gas molecules, which leads to a considerable

    decrease in the heattransfer coefficient [25]. In thiscase, the value of the heattransfer coefficient dependson the intensity of interrelated heat and mass transferprocesses both in a gassteam mixture and in a condensate film. By now, a large number of studies intonumerical description of such systems have been performed using different approaches and assumptions;however, the models are not yet perfect for practicaluse [2631]. The authors point out that the thermalresistance of the gassteam boundary layer is high atlow values of the Reynolds number Recond and theresistance decreases with its increase. The overallheattransfer coefficient in condensation decreasesalong the length of the tube, which is explained by adecrease in the fraction of steam and an increase in themass fraction of noncondensable gases at the interface. As for the enhancement of the condensation process, it is pointed out that stirring leads to the intensification of condensation of a gassteam mixture. Toenhance heat transfer in steam condensation, variousprofiled surfaces of tubes are used [3234], whichmakes it possible to reduce the thermal resistance ofthe condensate film due to a decrease in its thickness.However, the use of profiled surfaces is insufficientlyeffective to decrease diffusive resistance in the condensation of an airsteam mixture, which requiressearching for a new method for enhancing heat trans

    fer. In this study, the removal of noncondensable gas isensured by generating circulation vortices over the surface of the condensate film, which form when steamflows over streamlined bodies made in the form of a

    wire helix installed with a gap to the heat transfer surface. Figure 3 presents a scheme of the flow and temperature distributions in the evaporator tube.

    which a water film falls were studied. To enhancesteam condensation, turbulencepromoting insert 4(Fig. 3) made of wire 2.5 mm in diameter with steps ofs = 5, 10, and 25 mm was installed inside heatexchange tubes. Regular artificial helical roughness(Fig. 3a) made of wire with diameters of h= 0.25, 0.5,and 1.5 mm at a roughness parameter ofs/h= 67 wasinstalled on the tube surface; in some cases, an M20metric thread was produced on the outer surface of thetube.

    Water supplied to the steam generator was predegassed by boiling. The residual concentration of

    oxygen in water was 2 mg/L. The physical propertiesof water and steam were calculated using the averagetemperature at the inlet and outlet of the working section of the tube. Temperature was measured usingTSM9418 resistance thermometers. Temperaturedata were output on secondary Termodat35TSO/GVS devices and entered in the computerdatabase using Termonet 1.01 software. The heat flux

    was q= 50250 kW/m2, and the flow rate of the liquid varied from 0.2 to 2 m3/h.

    The heattransfer coefficient was determined fromthe equation

    = 1/[(1/Kexp) (1/f) (w/w)]. (1)

    The experimental values of the heattransfer coefficient Kexpwere calculated by

    Kexp= Q/(Ft). (2)

    The heattransfer coefficient from the water film inheating at a heat flux of q< 50 kW/m2was determinedfrom the relationship [15]

    At q 50 kW/m2, the correction of f was performed using experimental data presented in Fig. 4.

    The thickness of a falling water film was calculatedby the relationship [15]

    CONDENSATION OF STEAM

    AND AN AIRSTEAM MIXTUREDepending on the flow rate of steam, three charac

    teristic regimes of interaction of a gas with a condensate are observed in condensation: weakinteraction,transient, and annular dispersed regimes (Fig. 5),

    where the Reynolds number of steam was calculatedusing the average flow velocity of an airsteam mixture supplied to the tube.

    The dashed line in Fig. 5 represents the data of [15]for a descending cocurrent flow in the heating of a

    water film. The mismatch between the boundaries ofregime transition for steamcondensate and air

    water systems is explained by different densities ofsteam and air, since, due to the lower density of steamcompared to air, a larger flow rate of steam is requiredto achieve the necessary value of shear stress at theinterface.

    The region of weak interaction is Res20 000 forthe studied diameter of the channel. In this range ofthe Reynolds numbers for steam, the heattransfercoefficient in condensation hardly depends on shearstresses at the interface. In the region of weak interactions, the value of the heattransfer coefficient in condensation is most affected by the flow rate of the condensate and the phase transition criterion K (Fig. 6),and the value of the heattransfer coefficient for puresteam can be calculated by the relationship

    (5)

    The flux of condensable steam depends to thegreatest extent on pressure in the condensation zoneand decreases with its decrease (Fig. 7).

    To estimate the value of a heattransfer coefficientin the condensation of pure steam in the transientregime (Fig. 5), the following equation is derived:

    where the constant changes depending on the diameter of the used tube of the evaporator [35].

    The effect of shear stresses on the intensity of heattransfer due to a change in the hydrodynamics of theflow of a condensate film is evaluated by the dimension

    less parameter A similar dependence in thetransient regime was obtained in [15] in studying heattransfer in heating for an airwater system.

    The maximum increase in the value of the heattransfer coefficient in the transition region is twofold,

    both in the condensation of pure steam and the condensation of an airsteam mixture. From this, we caninfer that an increase in the velocity of the airsteammixture in a tube does not lead to a decrease in diffusive resistance at the interface and only affects a condensate film.

    In the annular dispersed flow regime, a decrease inheat transfer is observed, which is caused by the influence of drop entrainment on the turbulence of steam[15]. As was found, in the condensation of an airsteam mixture, a decrease in the heattransfer coeffi

    cient with an increase in the fraction of air in steam isobserved (Fig. 8) according to the relationship

    cond2/cond1= 0.97exp(3.8E), (7)

    where cond1 is the heattransfer coefficient for puresteam andcond2is the heattransfer coefficient for theairsteam mixture.

    According to the data in Fig. 8, the presence of aturbulizing insert in a tube enhances the film condensation of an airsteam mixture by a factor of 2.3.

    A helix with an optimum roughness parameter ofs2/h2 = 47 makes it possible to ensure the maximumvalue of a heattransfer coefficient due to the genera

    tion of circulation vortices in the entire interturn spaceof the turbulencepromoting insert, which removesthe noncondensable gas from the interface and stir anairsteam mixture, equalizing the profiles of the gastemperature and partial pressure over the condensatefilm. Circulation vortices do not form at a roughnessparameter of s2/h23, which leads to a decrease inheat transfer.

    An analysis of experimental data presented inFigs. 8 and 9 shows that the installation of a turbulencepromoting insert ensures the intensification ofcondensation for both a steamliquid mixture andpure steam.

    This can be explained by the effect of vortices

    formed by helix coils on the equalization of temperature profile. The enhancing effect of vortices on thecondensation of an airsteam mixture begins tomanifest itself at the Reynolds number of a gassteam mixture that flows over a streamlined bodyRe = uh2/s 10

    3, whereas the generation of vorticesoccurs at Re > 5 according to [25].

    The application of helical roughness to the surfacealong which the condensate film falls leads to theintensification of condensation by a factor of 2 (Fig. 9,

    point 2), whereas enhancement does not exceed a factor of 1.65 in the heating of a falling water film [33].Thus, in the case of steam condensation, it can beassumed that helical roughness stirs not only liquidlayers, but also the steam phase in the cavities of

    roughness [36].

    HEAT TRANSFER IN BOILINGIN A FALLING LIQUID FILM

    In the organization of boiling in a liquid film, twomechanisms of steam formation on its surface wererevealed: surface evaporation due to the difference inmoisture contents at the interface and in the core of anairsteam mixture that surrounds the film and the for

    mation of steam bubbles on the heat transfer wall ofthe tube.

    Under the conditions of surface evaporation andnegligible heat duties (t< 25) (Fig. 10, points 14),partial condensation of steam bubbles in the filmoccurs due to the cooling of a liquid as a result of theevaporation effect, which leads to an increase in theheattransfer coefficient in the film. When the film

    falls along the smooth surface of a tube, we have bt1.0; when there is helical roughness, we have bt0.55. The lesser effect of ton heat transfer when thefilm falls along helical roughness (compared to asmooth filmforming surface) is caused by steam stirring in the cavities of roughness.

    The amount of evaporated moisture from the surface of the water film can be determined using the

    value of a mass transfer coefficient as follows [33]:

    for the surface of a tube without a turbulator,

    (8)

    for the surface of a tube with helical roughness,

    (9)

    At t25, intense steam formation on the wallof the tube leads to the rejection of air from the interface and the termination of moisture evaporation fromthe surface, which stabilizes b, which becomes independent of a temperature difference. The installationof a jacket coaxial to the tube and the supply of steamto the produced gap, in order to moisten air, lead to theelimination of surface evaporation and the stabilization of a film flow at small values of t(Fig. 10, points57).

    At q50kW/m2, the effect of the heat flux on theintensity of heat transfer in a falling water film for bothsmooth and rough surfaces was bq

    0.7. The effect of

    the Reynolds number of the film was b Re0.1

    (Figs. 11, 12), whereas, during heating [33], we have

    heat since heat transfer mainly occurs bythermal conduction in heating and by convection in

    boiling.

    A relationship for calculating the heattransfercoefficient in a water film that falls along the smoothsurface of a tube in the absence of surface evaporationat q= 50300 kW/m2has the form

    (10)

    The value of the heattransfer coefficient increaseswith an increase in the height of the hill of helicalroughness, whereas the intensity of heat transferdecreases in heating at h> 0.25 mm (Fig. 13). All otherconditions being equal, the maximum enhancementof heat transfer compared with a smooth surface in

    boiling was no more than a factor of 1.7.

    HEAT TRANSFER IN CONDENSATION AND BOILING 365

    not promote the intensification of heat transfer both inboiling and in heating, which is due to the absence ofliquid stirring in the cavities of roughness as a result ofa nonoptimum roughness parameter of s/h= 1. It canalso be stated that the hills of roughness formed by thecoils of a metric thread are not evaporation centers.

    CONCLUSIONS

    In this study, the effect of helical roughness on heattransfer is revealed. The use of regular helical roughness on a surface along which a condensate film fallsleads to the intensification of condensation by a factorof two. The maximum enhancement of heat transfer ascompared with a smooth surface in boiling underother conditions being equal is not more than a factorof 1.7. Relationships for calculating the value of aheattransfer coefficient are derived.
