Abstract
With the influence of the different gas Reynolds numbers and liquid Reynolds numbers on heated falling film heat transfer, an experiment was performed by noncontact thermal infrared imaging technology under the gas–liquid cross-flow condition. The results indicated that during the increase of liquid Reynolds number the thickness and thermal resistance of liquid film increased in the determined temperature of the heating water, which weakened the heat transfer of the liquid film. However, the increase of liquid Reynolds number strengthened liquid film turbulence and therefore enhanced heat transfer. Under the synergistic effect of these two factors, there should be an optimal liquid Reynolds number that minimizes thermal resistance and maximizes the heat transfer coefficient of the liquid film. Temperature plays an important role in heat transfer of laminar liquid film flow. However, the heat transfer of turbulent liquid film flow is not sensitive to liquid film inlet temperature.
