An Inversed Numerical Method of Studying Characteristic Boiling Curve of CNT Nanofluid
Lumped parameters would be invalidated near critical heat flux (CHF) when Bi>0.1, though which has been widely used in calculating transient boiling curves for quenching experiments. In this paper, an inversed numerical method is developed to calculate transient boiling curve during quenching. Simultaneously, validation of this numerical method is carried out. Comparing with the results, it indicates that inversed numerical method has a good agreement with exact results. Then boiling curve of CNT nanofluid is calculated using this inversed numerical method. Further, the corresponding results are compared with lumped parameters results through boiling experiments. It implies that there is 13.3% difference at CHF point comparing with lumped parameters. The inversed numerical CHF is 0.647 MW/m2, simultaneously the lumped parameters CHF is 0.571 MW/m2. Similarly, a time delay is also detected from lumped parameters. The whole calculation results show that an inversed numerical calculation is competitive to analyze the boiling curve corresponding to single lumped parameters method for quenching experiments.
