This paper presents a comparison between experimental results from recent liquid hydrogen (LH2) transfer line chilldown experiments at high Reynolds (Re) numbers versus liquid nitrogen (LN2) experiments
conducted at low Re numbers. Parasitic heat leak, inner wall temperatures, inner wall heat uxes, and
heat transfer coefcients are computed to compare between the two systems. Analysis of temperature
traces and ow visualization indicates that the chilldown process evolves much more rapidly at higher
Re numbers due to a quick transition from vapor ow to annular liquid ow and near immediate liquid
contact along the pipe walls. The lower kinematic viscosity and surface tension of LH2, along with
reduced parasitic heat leak and higher Re numbers relative to the LN2 experiments, causes chilldown
to proceed almost immediately into the nucleate boiling regime, in comparison to low Re ows where
>75% of the chilldown is spent in vapor lm boiling.

1. Introduction
For decades, cryogenic uids have been used throughout the
chemical, aerospace, medical, and food industries. Cryogenic propellant technology development can be used to enable high performance in-space engines, in-space fuel storage depots, in-space
resource utilization systems, cooling, refrigeration, liquefaction,
thermal management, fuel cells, and life support systems.
However, there are challenging aspects when working with cryogenic liquids such as liquid hydrogen (LH2) due to the thermophysical properties. For example, the low normal boiling point makes
LH2 particularly susceptible to parasitic heat leak, resulting in
costly insulation systems and boil-off of precious propellant. The
low normal boiling point (NBP) and low surface tension make it
difcult to transfer single phase liquid from a storage tank, making
vapor ingestion downstream highly probable. Therefore, before
exible, robust systems can be conceived, fundamental understanding of the uid mechanics and heat transfer is rst required.
To enable all of the aforementioned systems, efcient methods
with which to transfer cryogenic propellant are required in order
to minimize consumption and loss. For example, before restart
of an in-space cryogenic engine [28,29,35], or before propellant

subcooled liquid [36], forced convection with nitrogen at supercritical pressures [37], and lm boiling [6]. Additional ow boiling
characteristics are detailed in the recent papers, see for example
[9]. Flow boiling information for liquid oxygen (LOX) is available
in [30].
Meanwhile, the only known relevant chilldown experiment
using LH2 was the work from [3], for horizontal 1-g turbulent ow.
They did not however report information regarding ONB,
Leidenfrost point, or ow boiling heat uxes. Pool boiling heat
uxes are available in [32,7,24], as well as some ow boiling characteristics for LH2 are available in the literature [33,34]. However
the heat ux data does not match the well-known theory from
[27], which predicts that bulk uid velocity magnitude has little
effect on the critical or maximum heat ux value; data in [34]
show a dependence on velocity and do not converge.
Additionally, two separate methods were used to deduce the mass
ow rate, one using a weight scale, and one using the gas ow rate
into the liquid supply dewar. While the weight scale can be used as
an accurate measure, provided that tests are run for a very long
time (long enough to establish a steady state velocity), using the
gas ow rate into the liquid dewar introduces complications due
to condensation heat transfer across the tank liquid/vapor interface, due to compressibility effects, and due to potential solubility
of the pressurant gas into the liquid. Using the pressurant gas ow
rate is only accurate in the limit of an isentropic tank drain, where
heat transfer between pressurant gas and liquid cryogen is
minimized.

3. Experimental setup
3.1. LN2 experiments
Low Re number liquid nitrogen line chilldown experiments
were performed at the University of Florida. Specic details regarding experimental hardware and procedure are available in [9].
Fig. 2(a) and (b) shows a photo and schematic of the test setup,
respectively. The system was designed to t inside an apparatus
frame to minimize line lengths and thus parasitic heat leak as
shown in Fig. 2(a). The test section was a 1 cm outer diameter,
0.1 cm thick, 25.4 cm long see-through Pyrex section. The inlet
condition was saturated ow, for quality between 0 and 0.122.
Re number range was 10004000. Gaseous nitrogen was used to
pressurize and drain the LN2 storage dewar. A three way valve
665
was used to prechill a portion of the line leading up to the test section. The ow was then routed into a vacuum section which contained the sight glass used for ow visualization. Flow could be
routed vertically upward or downward or horizontally. Flow was
then routed through a series of heat exchangers designed to completely vaporize the uid before entering the gas ow meter and
vent line. A vacuum pump was used to pump down the pressure
on the sight glass section to 23 kPa.
Temperature instrumentation is shown in Fig. 3. A set of three
thermocouples were mounted at three different stations along
the outer test section, spaced axially apart 120 to measure axial
and longitudinal temperature variations as the system chilled in.
Pressure was measured inside the liquid dewar and upstream
and downstream of the test section. A high speed camera was used
to visualize the ow to time correlate with the temperature and

single phase liquid was not achieved for every test [26].
Nonetheless, because the system experienced full vacuum conditions, and because parasitics were signicantly smaller here versus
the LN2 tests (see Section 4.2), liquid droplets form along the wall
almost immediately. This leads to signicantly faster chilldown
times relative to the lower Re LN2 case.
4.2. Inner wall temperature and inner wall heat ux
To generate reverse boiling curves, the method of Burgraff [4]
can be used to compute inner wall temperature from the measured

The inner and outer radii are known, as are thermal properties
of the metal and Pyrex. Outer wall temperatures from the data are
fed into Eq. (9) to obtain inner wall temperature as a function of
time. Inner wall heat ux is then obtained from the Burgraff
method (1964). Total convective heat ux is then computed by
using the heat conduction equation:

5. Discussion of results
along the wall earlier in the chilldown process. At higher Re, liquid
droplets gain momentum and cause violent mixing with the vapor
lm, negating the traditional inverted annular ow regime seen in
many other uids. Therefore, a higher Leidenfrost temperature is
also expected due to the high ow rate conditions.
671

signicantly smaller than that of nitrogen. Second, the surface tension of hydrogen is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than that
of nitrogen. Third, the kinematic viscosity of hydrogen is less than
nitrogen. Whereas nitrogen can maintain a liquid core structure
due to large differences in properties between vapor and liquid,
ow visualization from LH2 chilldown tests showed that high Re
hydrogen ows did not support the inverted annular ow structure.
The higher surface tension of nitrogen may act to divide the interfaces whereas hydrogen may act like two gases mixing together
so that transition boiling is inevitable. Therefore, to some extent,
the ow boiling of hydrogen at higher Re can be regarded as
homogenous ow. Obviously, due to the limited sampling rate of
the data acquisition system, limited resolution of the Burggraf
method, and high Re ow, the Leidenfrost temperature cannot be
discerned in any of the LH2 chilldown data. Fourth, for the same
mass ux, the ratio of Weber numbers for hydrogen over nitrogen
is 53; the ratio of Froude numbers is 12. Both of these
non-dimensional numbers have a fundamental impact on the two
phase ow behavior and transition between different ow regimes.
Based on the energy balance from Eqs. 18, Shaeffer et al. [31]
introduced an efciency parameter to gauge the performance of
different chilldown methods:

The calculated efciency for the low Re trickle ow LN2 experiments from [9] is less than 2%, which is comparably less than the
calculated efciencies for the pulse LN2 chilldown experiments
from [31]. Differences in efciencies between the two LN2 experiments is attributed to the different range of Re numbers, due to
higher efciencies in pulse over trickle ows, and due to improvements in mitigating parasitic heat leak.
Based on a similar energy balance, an efciency parameter
based on actual uid inlet and exit enthalpies was created for the
LH2 tests to compare performance between the different chilldown
methods, inlet liquid temperatures, and mass ow rates, and those
results are presented in [8]. For the 20.3 K saturated LH2 experiments, efciencies ranged from 0.1 to 0.56. This is a full order of
magnitude higher efciency over the low Re number trickle ow
tests from [9] and mid-range Re pulse ow tests from [31].
Higher efciencies for the LH2 tests over the LN2 tests are attributed to the lower parasitic heat leak and higher ow rates, which
causes turbulent mixing of the uid and faster chill down.

This pioneering correlation is based on the two-phase hydrodynamic instability for the boiling on an innite, upward-facing, horizontal at plate. Lienhard and Dhir [22] rened Zubers model by
assuming that the Helmholtz instability wavelength is equal to the
Taylor instability wavelength:
0.04, much higher than the validation range. Another cause for discrepancy between Mudawar and Maddox and the LH2 data is
attributed to the assumption that the two-phase ow must have
a steady vapor-blanket for the correlation to be valid. Flow visualization from Fig. 6 shows that annular ow is achieved relatively
quickly, and that the system spends little time in vapor lm
cooling.

the two uids. Analysis and discussions in the current work show
that the chilldown process evolves much more rapidly in hydrogen
over nitrogen due to lower density ratio, surface tension, kinematic
viscosity, and due to the quick transition from vapor to annular
ow. Meanwhile lm boiling is much more pronounced in nitrogen
chilldown tests due to the higher density ratio, higher surface tension, and higher kinematic viscosity. Second, higher ow rate LH2
chilldown tests yield higher efciencies than the corresponding
lower ow rate LN2 experiments; discrepancies are primarily
attributed to differences in parasitic heat leak. Third, the critical
heat ux correlations used to compute the maximum heat ux
are shown to over-predict the LN2 data, but generally
under-predict the LH2 data. Lastly, correlations for predicting
Leidenfrost temperatures agree reasonably well with LN2 data
but cannot be used to compare with the LH2 data. Results here
have direct implications on the design of all future cryogenic propellant transfer systems.
