  • Natural convection boiling in channel with Arc-Shaped will be encountered in the IVR-ERVC (In-Vessel Retention measure by External Reactor Vessel Cooling) system in nuclear power plant under severe accident. The flow and heat transfer characters in this situation is simulated by flow boiling of deionized water in an inclined rectangular channel under low flow rates. This paper aims to separate various parameters (such as orientation, mass flow rate and inlet quality, etc.) to investigate their individual effects on heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in a rectangular channel with cross section of 17 mm × 10 mm. By using a preheater at the inlet of the rectangular channel, the inlet quality could be controlled and the two-phase flow situation could be observed before the fluids entering into the main heater region on one side of the channel wall in downstream. Thus the characteristics of HTC on the main heater could be investigated at different flow patterns. The channel orientations vary from 15 to 90°, the mass flow rates vary from 110 to 288 kg/(m2s) and the qualities vary from 0.003 to 0.036, respectively. Experimental results show that the mass flow rate and quality effects on the HTC are very weak in this study. However, the orientation angle effect on HTC shows an transition region within 45°~60°, while it slowly changes when the orientation angle is smaller than 45° and bigger than 60°. Such tendency could be well formulated by the error function. Compared with different empirical formulas of saturated boiling HTC, it is found that the Liu & Winterton correlation can well predict the experimental HTC results in 90° orientation channel. Based on such correlation and coupled with the error function, a new model was developed by considering the orientation effect, which has an error of ±15% comparing with the experimental data.
