Reduction in the Intensity of Heat and Mass Transfer in Cryogenic Fluid in a Horizontal Reservoir

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

An approach is proposed to increasing the time of storage of cryogenic fluid in a horizontal cylindrical reservoir due to a reduction in the intensity of heat and mass transfer from its outer surface. A mathematical model has been developed for heat and mass transfer processes in cryogenic fluid on the basis of equations of unsteady nonisothermal turbulent motion of incompressible fluid. A k–ε turbulence model is used in the calculations. A comparison of the computational data with experimental findings has shown the adequacy of the proposed model. Based on the mathematical model, a possibility is shown for organizing a cryogenic fluid flow ensuring a reduction in the intensity of transfer of superheated liquid from the boundary layer near the reservoir surface into the zone of evaporation. We proposed a method for mechanical limitation of thermoconvective fluid flow from the reservoir walls to its fluid evaporation surface and a device for implementing this method. This device, unlike similar existing devices, has a small area of contact with the side surface of the reservoir and is invariant with regard to the level of cryogenic fluid in it. A computational experiment showed the efficiency of the proposed approach. Using the example of liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, it has been shown that the said device allows a reduction in the intensity of heating the surface of cryogenic fluid evaporation in the reservoir and an increase in the time of its storage.
