Abstract

A kettle reboiler recirculation model has been developed. To permit the use of established relationships between two-phase flow parameters the model is based on similarity between in-tube vertical flow and crossflow over the bundle. Existing in-tube criteria for flow transitions are incorporated. The model is compared with existing crossflow circulation models and with uniform heat flux experimental data from a 241 tube thin slice boiler rig boiling R113 at atmospheric pressure, including some observations of liquid and vapour velocities. Good agreement is obtained at heat flux densities of 15 and 20 kW/m². Predictions of flow transitions agreed reasonably well with observations.
