Times Cited Count：18 Percentile：97.04(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A thermal-hydraulics experimental system of liquid hydrogen was developed in order to investigate the forced flow heat transfer characteristics in the various cooling channels for wide ranges of subcoolings, flow velocities, and pressures up to supercritical. Forced flow through the channel is produced by adjusting the pressure difference between the tanks and the valve opening. The mass flow rate is measured from the weight change of the main tank. For the explosion protection, electrical equipments are covered with a nitrogen gas blanket layer and a remote control system has been established. The first cryogenic performance tests have confirmed that the experimental system has satisfied with the required performances. The forced convection heat transfer characteristics have been successfully measured at the pressure of 0.7 MPa for various flow velocities.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：90.71(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Experimental research on forced convection heat transfer of subcooled liquid nitrogen ranging from the pressures of 0.3 MPa to its supercritical pressure is carried out for wide ranges of inlet temperature and flow velocity. The heat transfer coefficients in non-boiling region and the DNB heat fluxes are higher for higher flow velocity and higher subcooling. The heat transfer coefficients in the non-boiling region agree well with those by the Dittus-Boelter correlation, although they are unaffected by the flow velocity for 
8000. The lowest limits agree with those obtained for no forced flow. The correlation of DNB heat flux that can describe the experimental data is presented. The heat transfer characteristics of supercritical nitrogen can be predicted by authors'correlation.
