The image analysis consists in extracting from the information which is available to the observer of the part that is important from the perspective of the investigated process. This process usually accompanies a considerable reduction in the amount of information from the image. In the field of two-phase flows, computer image analysis can be used to determine flow and geometric parameters of flow patterns. This article presents the possibilities of using this method to determine the void fraction, vapor quality, bubble velocity and the geometric dimensions of flow patterns. The use of computer image analysis methods is illustrated by the example of HFE 7100 refrigerant methoxynonafluorobutane condensation in a glass tubular minichannel. The high speed video camera was used for the study, and the films and individual frames received during the study were analyzed.

Metoda PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) jest jedną z optycznych, nieinwazyjnych metod pomiarowych służących pomiarowi prędkości płynów i może być wykorzystywana w badaniach przepływów dwufazowych gaz-ciecz w celu wyznaczania pól prędkości. Rozkład prędkości fazy ciekłej i gazowej wpływa na formowanie się struktur przepływu dwufazowego, a w konsekwencji na mechanizmy wymiany energii i momentu w przepływie dwufazowym. Artykuł dotyczy zastosowania metody PIV do oceny zjawisk hydrodynamicznych zachodzących podczas przepływu dwufazowego realizowanego w minikanałach rurowych o średnicy wewnętrznej d > 2 mm. W badaniach zastosowano fluorescencyjne cząstki znacznikowe o gęstości zbliżonej do gęstości wody. Badania wstępne wykonano na mieszaninie adiabatycznej typu woda-powietrze. Celem badań było sprawdzenie możliwości zastosowania metod PIV również w przepływach nieadiabatycznych. W wyniku badań wstępnych otrzymano mapy prędkości fazy ciekłej, histogramy i profile prędkości w przekroju pionowym badanego minikanału.

The PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) method is one of the optical, non-invasive measurement methods for measuring fluid velocity and can be used in the study of two-phase gas-liquid flows to determine velocity fields. The velocity distribution of the liquid and gas phases influences the formation of two-phase flow structures and, consequently, the mechanisms of energy and moment exchange in the two-phase flow. The article concerns the application of the PIV method to the assessment of hydrodynamic phenomena occurring during two-phase flow realized in pipe minichannels with an internal diameter d > 2 mm. Fluorescent marker particles with a density close to that of water were used in the research. The preliminary tests were carried out on the adiabatic water-air mixture. The research aimed to check the applicability of PIV methods also in non-adiabatic flows. As a result of preliminary studies, velocity maps of the liquid phase, histograms and velocity profiles in the vertical section of the tested minichannel were obtained.

Recreational houses (WH) of a recreational nature may constitute an offer for the development of non-standard forms of recreation proposed by the domestic tourist industry. The paper presents some selected design problems of heating an exemplary WH house. For central heating (central heating) and domestic hot water (domestic hot water), it is proposed to use a compressor heat pump. It works with the central heating installation (water underfloor heating) and hot water, and with a lower source in the form of surface water in the lake. The heat exchanger for the brine is immersed in the lake water. The methodology for calculating the dimensions of the lower heat exchanger was presented. It was proposed that it will be made in the form of two coils made of polyethylene pipes and WH float sides placed on both sides. The design solution presented in the paper meets the conditions for qualifying as using renewable energy sources (RES). It should be noted that covering the demand for electricity for the WH house, including to drive the heat pump motor and for other living purposes in a residential superstructure, is also made using a hybrid system in the form of cooperation between wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. Problems regarding the WH hybrid electricity supply system will be the subject of a separate study.

Technological advances are contributing to the search for highly efficient energy designs, and increasing interest in compact heat exchangers. Indeed, small channel diameters determine large heat transfer coefficients and condition a significant heat transfer area about the overall volume of the heat exchanger, as well as a smaller amount of refrigerant flowing in the system. Nevertheless, the operat-ing stability and energy efficiency of compact heat exchangers are influenced by two-phase flow structures, which depend on thermal flow parameters. Knowledge of the structures formed during the condensation process is therefore essential for optimising the operation of re-frigeration and air-conditioning equipment. This article presents the results from experimental studies of the HFE7100 refrigerant, from the hydrofluorocarbon group, condensation process in mini-channels with hydraulic diameters dh = 2.0 mm, 1.2 mm, 0.8 mm and 0.5 mm. Thermal flow characteristics were determined, and the forming structures of two-phase flow were recorded. The results of visualisation were subjected to morphological image analysis, based on a special algorithm written in MATLAB software. The algorithm makes it possi-ble to determine the void fraction, which is necessary for calculating the vapour quality, as well as the area of vapour bubbles and their number, directionality and length along the x- and y-axes.

Mapy struktur przepływu pozwalają na łatwą identyfikację rodzaju przepływu dwufazowego bez wglądu do wnętrza kanału. Znajomość struktury przepływu pozwala na optymalizację parametrów pracy parowników i skraplaczy chłodniczych. Jest to związane z faktem, że pewne struktury intensyfikują wymianę ciepła, a inne ją hamują. Podobnie jest z oporami przepływu, co jest bezpośrednio związane z energochłonnością układu chłodniczego lub klimatyzacyjnego. W części pierwszej artykułu zaprezentowano przegląd literatury dotyczący konstrukcji map struktur przepływu dwufazowego nieadiabatycznego. Przedstawiono najważniejsze mapy zarówno dla procesu skraplania w kanałach konwencjonalnych, jak i minikanałach. W części drugiej opisano wyniki badań własnych struktur przepływu dwufazowego podczas skraplania w minikanałach.

Flow structure maps allow to easily identify the type of two-phase flow without looking inside the channel. The knowledge of the flow structure allows for optimizing the operating parameters of evaporators and refrigeration condensers. This is because some structures intensify heat transfer, while others inhibit it. It is similar to the flow resistance, which is directly related to the energy consumption of the refrigeration or air-conditioning system. The first part of the article presents a literature review on the construction of maps of nonadiabatic two-phase flow structures. The most important maps for the condensation process in conventional and mini-channels are presented. The second part describes the results of our studies of two-phase flow structures during condensation in mini-channels.
