基于飞秒激光蜂巢改性表面的矩形通道传热实验研究

Experimental Study on Heat Transfer in Rectangular Channel Based on Femtosecond Laser Honeycomb Modified Surface

  • 摘要: 飞秒激光作为一种表面改性技术,可以在金属表面减材制备出微观形貌,具有强化传热的技术潜力。为探索飞秒激光表面改性技术在换热设备中的应用潜力,利用飞秒激光在矩形流道表面制备出蜂巢微观形貌结构,并在2~4 MPa环境下开展单相、两相工况的实验。结果表明,飞秒激光制备的蜂巢表面虽然单相传热系数提升效果不明显,但在流动沸腾工况下表面两相传热系数提升可达165%。随着单相雷诺数Re的降低,以及沸腾数Bo的增大,改性表面的两相传热系数提升幅度越高。综合对比单相传热与两相传热的实验结果,证明了蜂巢表面微结构导致的接触面积增大带来的单相对流传热差异并非两相传热系数提升的主要因素,应更多关注大量微结构带来的核化差异。改性后新增微结构同样带来阻力增大的减益,结果显示改性表面引入的单相摩擦阻力系数提升幅度可达40.9%以上,在实际应用环境下,需要均衡考虑阻力增大的负面收益与传热提升的正面收益。

     

    Abstract: Femtosecond Laser can create micro-structures on metal surface by reducing materials methods. The micro-structures on heating surface lead to larger contact area, which could increase the heat-transfer characteristics between surface and the coolant. As a kind of nucleation site, the micro-structures might have advantages on the bubble boiling. There are lots of research on many modified surface in pool boiling conditions, and the results shows that the modified surface with plenty of micro-structures can enhance the two phase heat-transfer parameters. The difference of bubble behavior on the modified surface is also observed. Existing studies indicates that the micro-structures on modified surface have a significant impact on the heat-transfer ability. However, most of researchers studied the heat transfer enhancement in pool boiling environment, resulting in the lack of data in flow boiling environment. Furthermore, the experimental data of modified surface prepared by femtosecond Laser in rectangular channel is in need. As a kind of typical thermal-hydraulic channel, rectangular channel is widely used in heat ex-changer, electronic cooling equipment and so on. Using laser modification method, flow heat transfer can be enhanced without changing the channel structure and macroscopic size. In order to explore the availability of femtosecond laser surface modification technology in heat transfer facilities, the honeycomb micro-structures was prepared by femtosecond laser on the surface of rectangular channel. Single-phase and two-phase heat-transfer experiments were carried out in 2 to 4 MPa environment. The experimental result shows that honeycomb modified surface has the heat-transfer enhancement benefits. In single-phase condition, the increase amplitude of Nusselt number on honeycomb modified surface is not significant. In two-phase condition, the increase amplitude of convective heat transfer coefficient on honeycomb modified surface is over 165%. As the rate of flow decreases, the heat transfer enhancement effect of the modified surface increases. With the increase of boiling number, the heat transfer enhancement effect of the modified surface is also promoted. The comprehensive comparison of experimental results between single-phase data and two-phase data proves that the increase in contact area caused by the micro-structures of the honeycomb surface is not the main reason for the improvement of two-phase heat transfer coefficient. The mechanism of honeycomb modified surface enhancing two-phase heat transfer should be the large number of nucleated voids owing to micro-structures fabricated by femtosecond laser. When the heat flux increases, the boiling phenomenon on the surface becomes more intense, and the surface with more nucleated voids has better characteristics of heat transfer. Experimental result shows that the single-phase friction resistance coefficient caused by the modified surface can be increased by 40.9%. In practical application conditions, it is necessary to balance the negative effect of increased resistance and the positive benefit of enhanced heat transfer.
