Abstract

In this study, we performed to observe horizontal vapor-liquid two phase flow of refrigerant R 134a in the rectangular glass channel which hydraulic diameter is 0.84 mm. The test glass tube was added the oscillation to the gravity direction for slug and stratified flow under low mass flux and heat flux. When the channel was oscillated of certain frequency and amplitude, the liquid of the corner part of rectangular channel waved up and down. In slug flow, dry surface of central was supplied the liquid by the oscillation and was formed the thin liquid. In stratified flow, dry surface of top was supplied the liquid and flow pattern changed to annular from stratified flow. The oscillation influences were investigated in a quantitative way.
