An Analytic Study on Flooding Heat Transport Limitation for a PFC Two-phase Closed Thermosyphon

PFC 열사이폰의 플러딩 한계에 대한 해석적 연구

The present study was conducted to determine flooding heat transfer limitation of a two-phase closed thermosyphon using PFC as working fluid. The variables such as pipe inner diameter, working fluid property, operating temperature were examined by way of analytic method. Comparison of experimental data on flooding heat transfer limitation shows a fairly good agreement with the analytic results. An expression fur flooding maximum heat transfer rate was formulated as a function of Bond number and saturation pressure and written as follows ; $Q_{max} =0.989{\cdot}P_s^{0.286}{\cdot}Bo^{1.74}$.
