Scientific paper

A constrained vapor bubble heat exchanger, CVB, with capillarity to recirculate the liquid was modeled and experimentally studied. Using a relatively simple pentane/quartz system the fundamental parameters governing the CVB, namely, temperature, pressure, and menisci curvature, were measured. An ``adiabatic'' section wherein the temperature remained nearly constant was identified. A one-dimensional steady state model of this ``adiabatic'' section was developed and solved numerically to yield pressure, velocity, and film curvature along the axial length. Using Image Analyzing Interferometry, the experimentally obtained curvature profile agreed very well with that predicted by the model.
