4.6 Comparison of Vortex Flows with and without Showerhead Installation
4.6 Comparison of Vortex Flows with and without Showerhead Installation
To further reveal the effects of the showerhead installation on the resulting vortex flow, we compare the vortex flow in the same chamber with and without showerhead installation. By installing the showerhead, the large-diameter gas jet at the injection nozzle is broken into a great number of the tiny jets (Fig. 4.43). The tiny jets move at a much high speed because Vj / Vn = Dn2 / (Ndj2) = 47.4 but at a much lower Reynolds number Rej / Ren = Dn / (Ndj) = 0.311. Figures 4.44-46 shows the flow photos taken from the chamber with and without showerhead installed for the limiting cases of ∆T = 0℃ at the same H and Qj. Note that the inertia-driven vortex rolls are large and strong at high Qj when no showerhead is installed (Figs. 4.44(a), 4.45(a) & 4.46(a)) for Qj ≥ 2.0 slpm. With the showerhead installation the inertia-driven rolls are much smaller and weaker (Figs. 4.44(b), 4.45(b)&4.46(b)) and there rolls appear in the outer zone of the chamber. We further make this comparison for ∆T ≥ 5.0℃ in Figs. 4.47-4.52 for H = 20.0 to 40.0 mm. The results clearly show that the showerhead installation can effectively suppress the inertia-driven rolls. But the buoyancy-driven roll may become larger and stronger. Besides from Table 4.3, the onset of the inertia-driven rolls without the showerhead installation for the disk unheated (Ra=0) indicate that the primary and secondary rolls appear earlier than that with the showerhead installation.
