摘要: An experimental study was carried out to understand the phenomena of the boiling flow of liquid nitrogen in inclined tubes with closed bottom by using the high speed digital camera.The tubes in the experiment are 0.018 m and 0.014 m in inner diameter and 1.0 m in length.The range of the inclination angles is 0-45° from the vertical.The statistical method is employed to analyze the experimental data.The experiment was focused on the effect of the inclination angle on the initial position distribution of Taylor bubbles.The formation criterion of Taylor bubbles was confirmed by analyzing the images of Taylor bubbles.The experimental results show that the initial position of Taylor bubble increased first,and then decreased with the increasing inclination angle,with the maximum at 30°.The standard deviation of the initial position of Taylor bubble in tubes was different with different inner diameters.The lognormal shape was fitted to the measured the initial position distributions of Taylor bubbles in the cryogenic tubes.
