reg using of emulsion in cooling water line

10/07/2007 10:08 AM

i am going to study the detail flow analysis in cooling water pump when i used emulsion as an cooling water . emulsion in the sense (water + oil) so that oil will form as an thin coating agent so that the frictional losses are reduced . i also want to prove this by using analysis in cfx. please advice me reg this

Pasting below an abstract, perhaps you contact them to help you out:

Abstract

Phase change emulsion (PCE) is a kind of novel heat transfer fluid with greater apparent specific heat and stronger heat transfer capacity than water. The laminar rheological characteristics of a type of PCE developed by us were experimentally studied. And the advantage of applying this kind of PCE as a heat transportation fluid was discussed. The results show that: (a) its viscosity is about 5.57 times of that of water, which is much lower than those reported in the literature; (b) it can be considered as Newtonian fluid from its rheological characteristics and its friction factor conforms to the rule of 64/Re; and (c) for given heat transportation quantity, due to which greater apparent specific heat, the mass flow rate and the pump consumption for the PCE decrease greatly compared with water.
