Abstract

An experiment was performed in order to provide the necessary data to design condensers for the magnetohydrodynamic generators using binary liquid metal as well as to clarify the characteristics of the binary liquid metal in condensation heat transfer by determining condensation heat transfer rate in forced convection in a pipe with regard to the binary liquid metal with a small quantity of impurities on the basis of radial temperature distribution in vapor. With this end in view, the experiment of the forced convective condensation heat transfer of ternary alloy vapor composed of mercury, bismuth, and lead in a loop was performed, and the measured radial temperature distribution in vapor brought about the following results: the condensation heat transfer rate of the binary liquid metal with small quantity of impurities was found to be nearly equal to that of one component liquid metal; the condensation heat transfer rate of the binary liquid metal with some uncondensed vapor was found to be lower than that without vapor; and to nearly agree with the calculated rate for one component liquid metal vapor.
