Microgravity data on two-phase flow and heat transfer in flow boiling of n-Perfluorohexane (FC-72) have been obtained by a copper heated test tube and a transparent glass heated tube in a wide experimental range of mass velocity, liquid subcooling, vapor quality and heat flux. Furthermore, detailed two-phase flow behaviors have been observed by using high frame rate camera in the unheated observation section. In order to elucidate the accurate influence of gravity on flow boiling, it is essential to compare the heat transfer data and two-phase flow behaviors obtained under normal (terrestrial) gravity and microgravity environments at the same flow and heating conditions. However, both experiments cannot be performed by using the same experimental apparatus and under the same thermal environmental conditions. In addition, the heat loss cannot be negligible due to the forced avionics air flow inside the experimental apparatus in ISS. Therefore, exact evaluation of the fluid conditions at the inlet of the heated test tube requires the heat loss model with high-accuracy. In the present paper, the heat loss models for evaluating the degree of liquid subcooling at the inlet of the heated test tube and net heat flux from the heated tube to test fluid has been developed by using the results of preliminary heat loss experiments conducted onboard ISS. The correction of the degree of liquid subcooling by the proposed heat loss models is not negligible for the accurate analysis of gravity effects. The accuracy of the heat loss models has been verified through the evaluation of heat transfer coefficients for single-phase turbulent forced convection obtained from the heating experiments onboard ISS..

Yasuhisa SHINMOTO, Daijiro YAMAMOTO, Daisuke FUJII, Haruhiko OHTA, Heat Transfer Characteristics during Boiling of Immiscible Liquids Flowing in Narrow Rectangular Heated Channels, Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal and Mass Transport), 10.3389/fmech.2017.00016, 3, 16, 2017.11, [URL], The use of immiscible liquids for cooling of surfaces with high heat generation density is proposed based on the experimental verification of its superior cooling characteristics in fundamental systems of pool boiling and flow boiling in a tube. For the purpose of practical applications, however, heat transfer characteristics due to flow boiling in narrow rectangular channels with different small gap sizes need to be investigated. The immiscible liquids employed here are FC72 and water, and the gap size is varied as 2, 1, and 0.5 mm between parallel rectangular plates of 30 mm x 175 mm, where one plate is heated. To evaluate the effect of gap size, the heat transfer characteristics are compared at the same inlet velocity. The generation of large flattened bubbles in a narrow gap results in two opposite trends of the heat transfer enhancement due to thin liquid film evaporation and of the deterioration due to the extension of dry patch in the liquid film. The situation is the same as that observed for pure liquids. The latter negative effect is emphasized for extremely small gap sizes if the flow rate ratio of more-volatile liquid to the total is not reduced. The addition of small flow rate of less-volatile liquid can increase the critical heat flux (CHF) of pure more-volatile liquid, while the surface temperature increases at the same time and assume the values between those for more-volatile and less-volatile liquids. By the selection of small flow rate ratio of more-volatile liquid, the surface temperature of pure less-volatile liquid can be decreased without reducing high CHF inherent in the less-volatile liquid employed. The trend of heat transfer characteristics for flow boiling of immiscible mixtures in narrow channels is more sensitive to the composition compared to the flow boiling in a round tube..

Chapter 2, 2016.06, [URL], To satisfy the requirements for the cooling of small and large semiconductors operated at high heat flux density, an innovative cooling method using boiling heat transfer to immiscible liquid mixtures is proposed. Immiscible liquid mixtures discussed here are composed of more-volatile liquid with higher density and less-volatile liquid with lower density, and appropriate volumetric ratios become a key to realize high-performance cooling. The chapter reviews the experimental results obtained by the present authors, where critical heat flux accompanied by the catastrophic surface temperature excursion is increased up to 300 W/cm2 for FC72/water by using a flat heating surface of 40 mm in diameter facing upwards under the pressure 0.1 MPa.

To apply the superior heat transfer characteristics in boiling of immiscible mixtures to flow boiling system, preliminary experiments using a horizontal heated tube are performed and the classification of flow pattern with liquid-liquid interface and corresponding heat transfer performance are discussed..

Because immiscible mixtures are not employed as cooling mediums in the existing systems, fundamental heat transfer characteristics in pool boiling are summarized based on the experiments performed so far by the present authors, and their possibility for application to flow boiling is studied experimentally. The flow patterns composed of two immiscible liquids with different densities and surface tensions show complicated behaviors, even under unheated conditions. By evaluation of the temperature transition in the bulk flow during the evaporation of two component liquids, the heat transfer performance is discussed for immiscible mixtures with different compositions..

29. Seita KIUCHI, Tomoki HIROKAWA, Takahiro HAYASHIDA, Yasuhisa SHINMOTO, Masahiko MUROZONO, Haruhiko OHTA, Heat Transfer Characteristics due to the Evaporation and Boiling of Thin Liquid Film in the Presence of Co-current Gas Flow, The 24th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena (ISTP-24), 2013.11, In recent years, the density of dissipated heat from a semiconductor chip tends to increase continuously. As a consequence, the limited cooling ability by the application of conventional air or liquid cooling method disturbs the development of electronic devices. Therefore, the powerful cooling technology by the application of phase change becomes necessary. Especially, forced convective boiling attracts much attention for the cooling of semiconductor chips or power electronics. The application of two-phase system decreases the temperature difference during the evaporation and condensation processes, and almost no additional temperature difference is needed for the transportation of waste heat from the evaporator to the condenser. In nucleate boiling and two-phase forced convection, the formation and the transition of liquid film underneath bubbles or around the vapor core flow becomes a key factor which determines the enhancement of heat transfer. The behavior of liquid film, however, cannot be controlled at will to obtain further enhancement of heat transfer, but is determined uniquely under given flow and heating conditions. On the other hand, the behaviors of the liquid film flowing in the presence of gas flow can be controlled directly by the adjustment of the gas velocity via the interfacial shear stress between both phases and by the thermal power supplied to the film..

Yuta FUKUYAMA, Akito KAWAKUBO, Yasuhisa SHINMOTO, Haruhiko OHTA, Masahide SATO, Ken-ichi IIMURA, Masato FUKAGAYA, Yoshiyuki ABE, Development of Cooling System for Data Servers using Flow Boiling of Nanofluid, The 24th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena (ISTP-24), 2013.11, Along the advances in electronic technology, the heat generation density from data servers is increasing rapidly. Existing cooling systems for data servers, which consist of built-in cooling fan arrays and air conditioners installed in the server room, however, cannot meet cooling requirements in the near future. Furthermore, these systems require huge power as much as 40-50% of that consumed in the data center for the operation of air conditioners. A new cooling system proposed here applies flow boiling for the direct transport of the waste heat from the server racks to the air outside of the building. Nucleate boiling removes a large amount of waste heat by a small temperature difference, and the temperature of two-phase flow is kept almost constant during its transportation provided that the pressure drop is negligible. Therefore, the method will become a powerful means to promote the energy conservation. This study reports the cooling performance for the boiling of nanofluid in a devised cooling jacket attached to the heaters with the same size and the same power generation as those of typical semiconductors..

Mayumi Ouchi, Yoshiyuki Abe, Masato Fukagaya, Haruhiko Ohta, Yasuhisa Shinmoto, Masahide Sato, Ken Ichi Iimura, Thermal management systems for data centers with liquid cooling technique of CPU, 13th InterSociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems, ITherm 2012 Proceedings of the 13th InterSociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems, ITherm 2012, 10.1109/ITHERM.2012.6231507, 790-798, 2012.09, Energy consumption in data centers has seen a drastic increase in recent years and approximately 40% of it is spent on cooling facilities. In data centers, server racks are cooled down indirectly by chilled air with an air conditioner. This technique is inefficient because IT equipment is not cool enough whereas the server room is overcooled. Under these circumstances, the authors have proposed liquid cooling systems in which CPUs are cooled down directly and exhaust heat is not radiated into the server room. Three cooling technique for CPUs are developed simultaneously. Two of them involve a single-phase heat exchanger and a two-phase heat exchanger as a cooling jacket. The other is flat heat pipes in order that the heat generated by CPU is cooled after being transported to the outside of the chassis. Condensation section of the heat pipe is cooled down by liquid with liquid manifold, so that there is no air cooling part in our new liquid cooling systems. Performance evaluation tests of the cooling devices have been conducted, which are single-phase heat exchanger, two-phase heat exchanger and two-types of flat heat pipes. Meanwhile, nanofluid technology for heat transfer enhancement and development of plug-in connectors for standardization of the systems are pursued. In addition, Verification tests have been carried out with using commercial servers. As a result, a 44% to 53% reduction in energy consumption of cooling facilities with single-phase cooling system was realized compared with conventional air cooling system..

(History: Received June 12, 2011; Accepted March 14, 2012; Published July 16, 2012; Online July 16, 2012)
(Transaction: 031005-1-031005-10, September, 2012.), 2012.07, [URL], Energy consumption in data centers has seen a drastic increase in recent years. In data centers, server racks are cooled down in an indirect way by air-conditioning systems installed to cool the entire server room. This air cooling method is inefficient as information technology (IT) equipment is insufficiently cooled down, whereas the room is overcooled. The development of countermeasures for heat generated by IT equipment is one of the urgent tasks to be accomplished. We, therefore, proposed new liquid cooling systems in which IT equipment is cooled down directly and exhaust heat is not radiated into the server room. Three cooling methods have been developed simultaneously. Two of them involve direct cooling; a cooling jacket is directly attached to the heat source (or CPU in this case) and a single-phase heat exchanger or a two-phase heat exchanger is used as the cooling jacket. The other method involves indirect cooling; heat generated by CPU is transported to the outside of the chassis through flat heat pipes and the condensation sections of the heat pipes are cooled down by coolant with liquid manifold. Verification tests have been conducted by using commercial server racks to which these cooling methods are applied while investigating five R&D components that constitute our liquid cooling systems: the single-phase heat exchanger, the two-phase heat exchanger, high performance flat heat pipes, nanofluid technology, and the plug-in connector. As a result, a 44–53% reduction in energy consumption of cooling facilities with the single-phase cooling system and a 42–50% reduction with the flat heat pipe cooling system were realized compared with conventional air cooling system..

In this paper, preliminary results of the microgravity pool boiling experiments conducted in ESA 49th parabolic flight campaign were reported. It was found that the bubble behaviors were strongly affected by the fluctuation of gravity in low-gravity period, and the effect of gravity on the bubble behaviors and heat transfer was dependent on the liquid subcooling. In the case of high subcooling, boiling bubbles were pushed on to the heating surface during positive low-g, and heat transfer due to microlayer evaporation was enhanced. On the other hand, during negative low-g period, bubbles detached from the heating surface, and the heat transfer rate was decreased. This trend, however, completely inverted at low subcooling. In positive low-g, the heat transfer was deteriorated because the dry patch was extended on the heating surface..

Diameter of the power satellite is 200m, where sunlight is condensed at a magnification of three to reduce the satellite size. Application of boiling and two-phase flow system is a promising method to transport a large amount of thermal energy because it accompanies the transportation of latent heat. The feasibility of thermal energy management was confirmed using boiling and two-phase flow for the 10MW class model, while the enlargement of the power up to 1GW is accompanied by the difficulty of heat removal with high heat generation density from a large area where no technology was developed yet including those for the terrestrial application. In the present research, performance of an example of thin cold plate was tested as a reference to evaluate the performance of cold plates to be developed for boiling and two-phase flow. In addition, a technique to increase the critical heat flux, which gives a limitation of heat removal, was tested and discussed on the basis of experimental results..

It is shown that the mutual flow interactions between the fore-and hind-airfoils are playing the dominant role in generating the time mean aerodynamic force acting in the direction of the stroke plane, which is indispensable for the dragonfly to hover with the body axis horizontal. The total amounts of the lifting force and the necessary power are also estimated and shown to be very close to those estimated by other researchers. Some additional numerical simulations and discussions are also presented to explain why a true hover-fly that has, in contrast with a dragonfly, only a pair of wings can also hover with the body axis horizontal..

Annular flow of air-water mixture was realized independent of gravity level varying along a parabolic trajectory. Effect of gravity on the pressure drop was clarified systematically for vertical upward flow in a tube for different combinations of liquid and gas flow rates. Pressure drop becomes low when gravity is reduced, and the effect of gravity decreases with the increase of gas or liquid flow rate. The gravity effect was corresponded to the change of interfacial shear stress on the surface of annular liquid film, and a method to correlate the gravity effect on interfacial friction factor having direct influence on the pressure drop was introduced..

The propulsive efficiency and the thrust have been calculated for various combinations of the phase difference and the reduced frequency for two different amplitude ratios. The effects of the dynamic stall phenomena on the behaviors of the propulsive efficiency and thrust are discussed in detail by examination of each flow pattern obtained. Highest efficiency has been observed for the case in which the pitching oscillation advances 90 deg ahead of the heaving oscillation and the reduced frequency is at some optimum value, for which there appears no appreciable flow separation in spite of large-amplitude oscillations. For phase angles and reduced frequency other than this best condition, efficiency is rapidly degraded by the occurrence of the large-scale leading-edge separation..
98. Abstract;The paper presents an experimental verification of the theoretical analysis for thermally-induced structural responses of a rolled-blanket-type solar array subjected to sudden radiation heating such as typical night-day transition in orbit. Experiments were conducted using one-tenth model of asymmetric Flexible Rolled-Up Solar Array of the Hubble Space Telescope. The model was composed of a blanket, two flexible booms, and a rigid spreader bar. Time histories of tip deflections of two booms were measured. Quasistatic components of the deflections were in good agreement with the theoretically predicted results. Measured surface temperatures of the booms were also presented. (author abst.).

The highest efficiency has been observed for the case where the pitching oscillation advances 90 deg. ahead of the heaving oscillation, for which the flow separation is confined in the small region on the airfoil surface near the trailing edge in spite of the large amplitude oscillations. For phase angles other than 90 deg. the efficiency is degraded by the occurrence of the large scale leading edge separation..
