The science and technology of ultracapacitors are reviewed for a number of electrode materials, including carbon, mixed metal oxides, and conducting polymers. More work has been done using microporous carbons than with the other materials and most of the commercially available devices use carbon electrodes and an organic electrolytes. The energy density of these devices is 3¯5 Wh/kg with a power density of 300¯500 W/kg for high efficiency (90¯95%) charge/discharges. Projections of future developments using carbon indicate that energy densities of 10 Wh/kg or higher are likely with power densities of 1¯2 kW/kg. A key problem in the fabrication of these advanced devices is the bonding of the thin electrodes to a current collector such the contact resistance is less than 0.1 cm2. Special attention is given in the paper to comparing the power density characteristics of ultracapacitors and batteries. The comparisons should be made at the same charge/discharge efficiency.

Ultracapacitors: Why, How, and Where is the Technology

The growth of a vapor bubble in a superheated liquid is controlled by three factors: the inertia of the liquid, the surface tension, and the vapor pressure. As the bubble grows, evaporation takes place at the bubble boundary, and the temperature and vapor pressure in the bubble are thereby decreased. The heat inflow requirement of evaporation, however, depends on the rate of bubble growth, so that the dynamic problem is linked with a heat diffusion problem. Since the heat diffusion problem has been solved, a quantitative formulation of the dynamic problem can be given. A solution for the radius of the vapor bubble as a function of time is obtained which is valid for sufficiently large radius. This asymptotic solution covers the range of physical interest since the radius at which it becomes valid is near the lower limit of experimental observation. It shows the strong effect of heat diffusion on the rate of bubble growth. Comparison of the predicted radius‐time behavior is made with experimental observations in superheated water, and very good agreement is found.

Review of computational studies on boiling and condensation

Flow pattern of boiling in micro-channel by numerical simulation

Simulation on nucleate boiling in micro-channel

Bubble behavior was simulated to analyze the mechanism of subcooled boiling in a micro-channel. Bubble growth, condensation, and collapse in subcooled boiling, as well as the function of the degree of subcooling, lift-off diameter, heat flux, and mass flux are discussed. The influence of surface tension on interfacial heat transfer is likewise presented. In the calculated results, both onset of nucleate boiling and boiling heat transfer are influenced by micro-channel size. The simulated flow pattern corresponds with some experimental results. Findings on the boiling heat transfer from the simulation were compared with experiments.

The performance of the horizontal heat transfer tube bundles in falling film evaporators in large compression refrigeration systems was investigated with numerical simulation in this paper. Four types of tubes, including plain tubes, and enhanced surface tubes of Turbo-B, Turbo-BII and Turbo-EHP, were employed in the simulation. Some factors, such as tube kind, tube pass arrangement, dry patch area on tube surface, liquid refrigerant flow rate, and number of flooded tubes, were analyzed based on simulated results. In the study, the maldistribution of liquid refrigerant flow caused by the distributor apparatus was discussed, which severely affects the performance of falling film evaporators according to the simulation. Some calculated results were verified by the experiment. These discussions and results can be used to guide the design of falling film evaporators under realistic flow conditions.
