When operating heat-exchange facilities, it is of interest to develop methods of diagnostic and prediction for coolant boiling onset. It is known that the surface temperature of a heating element always has stochastic oscillations around an average value, the analysis of such fluctuations will make it possible to predict the change in the heat transfer regimes.
This paper presents the results of an experimental study of temperature fluctuations for an inertial heater and using of method of diagnostic are based on statistical and frequency analysis of temperature fluctuations. It is shown that there is a correlation between the frequency characteristics of heater temperature fluctuations and oscillations in the thermohydraulic parameters of the coolant (temperature, flow, pressure). The obtained results will find application in the development of an automated system for diagnostics the coolant boiling onset in power facilities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
