| 概要 |
Performance of the two-phase flow in a minichannel had in the past been measured by the pressure drop or/and heat transfer coefficient. The desired low pressure drop across a small channel follows a l...ow heat transfer coefficient. Optimization of the two-phase flow system is generally achieved either experimentally through discrete variations of each of the parameters involved while holding the rest constant, or numerically which is also possible through a parametric study. The objective of this study was to investigate the thermodynamic performance in terms of entropy generation minimization (EGM) of two-phase flow of ammonia, R22, and R134A in a 3-mm minichannel using a random search technique, genetic algorithm. The EGM performance and the optimization approach have never been attempted before. R22 has been identified as a hazardous refrigerant and alternatives are being investigated with performance as good if not better. In this study, under the optimization of the mass flux and vapour quality at the saturation temperature of 10℃, simultaneous minimization of the entropy generation and maximization of the heat transfer coefficient showed that between 250 and 450 kg/m^2s, ammonia has a much higher heat transfer coefficient than R22 and R134A, and at a lower quality but with very high entropy generation. Furthermore, ammonia has many sets of optimal solutions, several combinations of entropy generation and heat transfer coefficient under optimized heat flux operation and vapour quality. R22 and R134A have their optimized heat transfer coefficients over a limited range and which occurred beyond the quality of 0.8. The study has shown that ammonia could be the replacement refrigerant to R22 and R134A in terms of heat transfer but at the expense of a higher entropy generation rate.続きを見る
