Title: HEAT TRANSFER TO A MIST FLOW. Technical Report No. 5

Abstract

An experimental and analytical study was made of the heat-transfer characteristics of a mist flow of steam and water droplets flowing vertically upward in a round tube. A simplified analytical model, based on momentum, mass, and energy considerations, was developed which shows qualitatively that severe temperature fluctuations are characteristic of such flows under constant-wall heat-flux conditions. The experimental data showed that the analytical model gave a fairly accurate qualitative description of the tube-wall temperature variation with length. The analysis of the data seemed to indicate that the assumptions of equilibrium between phases and constant values for the mass- transfer coefficient for droplets were incorrect. (auth)
