摘要：With the continuous development of power electronic devices towards miniaturization and compactness, it is necessary to develop more efficient flow boiling heat transfer technologies. In this work, the flow boiling heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of Novec649 in a pin finned channel under two kinds of flow orientations (horizontal and vertical upward) are experimentally investigated. Heat flux, inlet flow velocity and inlet subcooling are considered as the variable parameters. The results show that among all boiling operating conditions, the heat transfer performances between two orientations are basically consistent, while the pressure drop of vertical upward pin finned channel is relatively lower, indicating that the comprehensive flow boiling heat transfer performance of vertical oriented channel is better. Subsequently, a series of flow visualization experiments are performed in vertical upward pin finned channel. With the increase of heat flux, four kinds of flow pattern are discovered in the order of dispersed bubble flow, bubble flow, homogeneous flow and annular flow. In the region of annular flow, although a gas flow has already formed in the channel, there is still a large amount of liquid phase surrounding the wall and pin fins. Therefore, no obvious heat transfer deterioration was observed in the pin finned channel. Along flow direction, the diameter of bubbles will increase first, and then present obvious oscillation. As the heat flux increases, both the average bubble detachment diameter and the frequency increase correspondingly. As the fluid velocity increases, the average bubble detachment diameter presents a downward trend, while the average bubble detachment frequency presents an upward trend.
