Abstract

Ultrasonic field and rib surfaces are very important factors that affect the thermal performance in pool boiling. The paper has investigated the significance testing of thermal performance of the rib arrangement, the distance of ultrasonic field and the ultrasonic power in pool boiling with ultrasonic field and ribs surfaces by the orthogonal experiment. The deionized water is used as the working coolant. Then, the synergistic heat transfers and bubble motion characteristics in pool boiling are carried out at different rib arrangement, distance of ultrasonic field and the ultrasonic power by the single factor experiment. It is obtained that, compared with the single heat transfer technology of rib surface or ultrasonic field in the pool boiling, the thermal performance of compound heat transfer enhancement can be improved more significantly by combining the rib surfaces and ultrasonic field as a result of the expanded areas of heat exchange surface of rib and the cavitation effect and acoustic streaming effect of the ultrasonic field. The most significant affecting factor on the thermal performance is the rib arrangement, followed by ultrasonic power and distance of ultrasonic field. The increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of the best optimal scheme combination A3B3C1 with the rib arrangement of Rib II, the distance of ultrasonic field of 50 mm and the ultrasonic power of 528 W is 29.9%, which is higher than those of all the other schemes. The research results can effectively optimize the pool boiling performance of the heat transfer enhancement and provide useful support for the development of heat dissipation in related fields.
