摘要
Uniform flow distribution is critical to obtain high thermal performance in many heat and mass transfer devices. It especially plays an important role in a compact heat exchanger. In this paper, a two-phase flow distributor is proposed for the evaporator unit of the plate-fin heat exchanger to alleviate the phase maldistribution in the multiphase flow. Air and water mixture was adopted as two-phase medium and distributions into ten parallel channels were measured in detail. The results show that the proposed distributor can improve the two-phase flow distribution of the plate-fin heat exchanger. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
