ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: There are limitations in study of the driving force for natural circulating evaporators in the high-temperature model experiments. It is difficult to observe the evaporation process and to quantify some variables in the process. The room-temperature model experiment enables the better observation of the process and the quantitative study on the single variable. Based on the analysis of the relationship between the kinetic temperature and the circulation driving force in the room-temperature model (i.e. the gas-liquid ratio), the conversions between the amounts of air, the circulation speed and the kinetic temperature are gained; the relationship between the room-temperature model experiments and the high-temperature model experiments is established. Both the high-temperature model experiments and the room-temperature model experiments are conducted, it shows that the room-temperature model can replace the high-temperature model based on the kinetic temperature method.
