摘要:

Thermal systems for space applications based on two phase flow have several advantages over single phase systems. Two phase thermal energy management and dynamic power conversion systems have the capability of achieving high specific power levels. However, before two phase systems for space applications can be designed effectively, knowledge of the flow behavior in a ‘‘0‐g’’ acceleration environment is necessary. To meet this need, two phase flow experiments were conducted by the Interphase Transport Phenomena Laboratory Group (ITP) aboard the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) KC‐135, using R12 as the working fluid. The present work is concerned with modeling of two‐phase pressure drop under 0‐g conditions, for bubbly and slug flow regimes. The set of data from the ITP group includes 3 bubbly points, 9 bubbly/slug points and 6 slug points. These two phase pressure drop data were collected in 1991 and 1992. A methodology to correct and validate the data was developed to achieve high levels of confidence. A homogeneous model was developed to predict the pressure drop for particular flow conditions. This model, which uses the Blasius Correlation, was found to be accurate for bubbly and bubbly/slug flows, with errors not larger than 28%. For slug flows, however, the errors are greater, attaining values up to 66%. © 1995American Institute of Physics
