Abstract The cellular membrane of animal has the thickness normally between 5nm and 10nm and has the filtration nanopores with the diameters normally between 0.4nm and 1.2nm. The pressure drop and the critical power loss on the single nanopore for starting the wall slippage have been obtained. The wall slippage is sensitively raised with the pore radius reduction and has a linear dependence on the power loss on the pore. Without wall slippage, the water flow in the pore is much slower than the classical theory calculation; However it is far faster than the classical theory More >

Abstract The present work investigates the wall temperature prediction at supercritical pressure of water by CFD and compares the prediction of CFD and that of 11 empirical correlations available in literature. Supercritical-water heat transfer experimental data, covering a mass flux range of 400-1500 kg/m²s, heat flux range of 150-1000 kW/m², at pressure 241 bar and diameter 10 mm tube, were obtained from literature. CFD simulations have been carried out for those operating conditions and compared with experimental data. Around 362 experimental wall temperature data of both heat transfer enhancement and heat transfer deterioration region have been taken More >
