Description
Summary:The results of experimental studies on dynamics of propagation of the self-sustaining evaporation front at nonstationary heat release are presented in the paper. The experiments were carried out in a large volume at liquid saturation temperature and subcooling on a horizontal cylindrical heat-releasing surface with the diameter of 3 mm under nonstationary heat release. Freons R21, R114 and their mixtures were used as the working liquid. The experiments carried out in the range of concentrations of high-volatile component 0 < C < 1 showed that in the range of temperature heads corresponding to the loss of hydrodynamic stability of evaporation front interface, a higher evaporation front velocity corresponds to the higher content of volatile component R114. The temperature head corresponding to the initiation of the evaporation front has a minimal value at mixture concentration corresponding to the point of azeotrope (C = 0.62). At a fixed value of the temperature head in the range of high values of ΔT, liquid subcooling relative to saturation line leads to a decrease in the velocity of evaporation front propagation.
