The results show that the model presented in gives a good agreement with the three dimensional two-phase evaporation model. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of the capillary porous wick with the alkali metal liquid as working fluid are different from that with the traditional working fluid in some ways.

Subway Station Plate Evaporative Cooler Heat and Mass Transfer of Falling Film under Gas liquid Cross flow Condition

With the influence of the different gas Reynolds number and liquid Reynolds number on falling film heat and mass transfer of subway station plate evaporative cooler, the experiment was carried out by non contact infrared thermal imaging technology under gas liquid cross flow condition. The results indicated that during the increasing of liquid Reynolds number the thickness of liquid film increased and the temperature difference between liquid film inlet and outlet decreased in determined heating water temperature which weakened the heat transfer of liquid film. However, the increase of liquid Reynolds number strengthened the liquid film turbulence that enhanced heat transfer. Under the synergistic effect of these two factors, there was an optimal liquid Reynolds number which minimize thermal resistance and maximize heat and mass transfer coefficient of liquid film.
