Abstract

The effect of nozzle characterristics on the mist-cooling heat transfer was investigated under the various flow conditions. Two different types of twin fluid nozzle were used, one is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip nozzle with needle and the other is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip non-needle nozzle. The cooling rate from the heated surface was measured and obtained the boiling curve as a function of surface temperature. An immersion sampling was employed for the measurement of droplet size of the spray. As a result of this experiment, the liquid sheet type nozzle shows better atomization when the mass ratio Mr>2.0, and collects more liquid droplets on the heated surface that results in better cooling effect. It was found that the maximum heat flux and heat transfer coefficient increased with increase in the volumetric flow rate, whereas the maximum heat flux decreased with increase in spray distance. The cooling effect depends upon the amount of collected droplet and droplet size, but it strongly depends upon the amount of collected droplet.
