Abstract

In this investigation the thermal equilibrium between air as the gas phase and water as the liquid phase is studied when a bubbly mixture flows between a heated inner cylinder and an insulated outer cylinder. It was concluded that the equilibrium condition is a function of the axial distance, the gas and liquid fluxes, and the distribution of voids in the continuous medium. Furthermore, the augmentation ratio was assessed for the conditions of thermal equilibrium, and compared with their equivalent in the cylinder case.
