Abstract

This paper presents numerical results for combined convection and radiation heat transfer to a laminar mist flow in the thermal entrance region of a concentric annulus with a heated core at constant wall temperature and an insulated outer wall. The saturated droplets in the mist flow are considered as equivalent heat sinks distributed in the superheated vapor stream. Numerical calculations are performed for the variations of droplet size, mean vapor velocity, and the local Nusselt number in the streamwise direction until the single-phase fully-developed condition is reached. The important role of the saturated droplets on combined convection and radiation heat transfer to mist flow is clearly demonstrated.
