Abstract:In order to study the cooling characteristics of the nozzle, a test platform is designed and developed for spray cooling feature measurement based on unsteady state heat conduction. By heating and keeping Q215 metal samples up to some surface temperature, a series of temperature data are collected by S7-200 modules during spray force cooling. Through Visual C++6.0 and Matlab interface programming, a series of regression equation with thermodynamic property versus temperature, such as density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity etc., and with temperature versus sample time are obtained. The surface heat transfer coefficient and spray cooling feature of nozzle can be indirectly measured by the regression equations. The relation between surface heat transfer coefficient versus temperature, spray pressure and water intensity are investigated by means of the testing equipment. The experiment result shows the method is feasible and can be used in spray cooling feature measurement for all kinds of nozzle.
