The fluid circuit 20 further includes a flow meter 220, the flow meter 220 being disposed in the fluid circuit 20. Since the operation of the motor driving the pump 210 has fluctuation and the adjustment accuracy is low, in order to keep the flow rate in the flow field stable, the flow meter 220 is disposed at the inlet end of the driving pump 210 to monitor the flow rate of the fluid in the fluid circuit 20.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a visual measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. The application provides a visual measurement method, which comprises the following steps:
s10: the resistance and temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating assembly 130 are measured. Specifically, before the measurement is started, the heating assembly 130 is first placed in a constant temperature water bath, and the resistance and the temperature can be approximated by the formula R ═ R in a certain temperature range0(1+aTa+Ta 2) And (4) calculating. Wherein R is the real-time resistance of the heating element 130, R0For the heating element 130 resistance at 0K, both a and b are temperature coefficients of resistance. By measuring two different sets of temperatures and corresponding real-time resistances, a constant R can be calculated0A and b. Based on the constants determined, a formula can be used for the visualization of the measurement
Figure BDA0002982336570000091
The temperature of the heating element 130 is derived.
S20: the image pickup apparatus is turned on to photograph the fluid in the flow passage 1010. Specifically, the image pickup apparatus is mounted on the transparent first side plate 110 to continuously photograph the fluid flow state in the flow channel 1010.
S30: the output voltage of the power source 310 is adjusted to intermittently generate micro-bubbles on the surface of the heating member 130. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
s310: the system pressure of the fluid circuit 20 is adjusted to adjust the saturation temperature of the fluid and determine an onset boiling point parameter and a critical heat flux density, and the surface heat generation rate of the heating assembly 130 is calculated and the voltage is adjusted such that the surface heat generation rate is greater than the onset boiling point parameter and less than the critical heat flux density. Specifically, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a boiling curve diagram of saturated water at normal atmospheric pressure. The flow rate in the fluid circuit 20 is first adjusted to a target flow rate by the adjustment valve 230 and the flow meter 220, the fluid pressure in the fluid circuit 20 is then adjusted to a target pressure by the pressure reducing valve 252, and the corresponding fluid saturation temperature T can be determined from the pressure by referring to a parameter table of the corresponding fluidsatAnd looking up the boiling curve of the corresponding fluid according to the target pressure to obtain the initial point superheat degree delta toh iniInitial boiling point parameter qcAnd critical heat flux density qmax
S320: the surface heat generation rate of the heating element 130 is calculated and the voltage of the power supply 310 is adjusted such that the surface heat generation rate is greater than the starting point boiling point parameter and less than the critical heat flux density. Specifically, the calculation formula of the surface heat generation rate is
Figure BDA0002982336570000101
Wherein q (t) is the surface heating rate of the heating element 130, V is the volume of the heating element 130, S is the surface area of the heating element 130, ρ is the density of the heating element 130, c is the specific heat of the heating element 130, and Q (t) is the heating power of the heating element 130, the heating power of the heating element 130 can be represented by the formula
Figure BDA0002982336570000102
Calculated, where R can be obtained by the monitoring module 320 directly measuring the heating assembly 130.
By gradually increasing the voltage U of the power supply 310, heating is performedThe surface of the heating assembly 130 begins to boil, which may cause local overheating of the surface of the heating assembly 130 and thus unstable resistance R, and therefore the voltage U of the power source 310 needs to be continuously adjusted so that the surface heating rate of the heating assembly 130 is at the initial boiling point parameter qcAnd critical heat flux density qmaxSo that bubbles generated on the surface of the heating element 130 are in a nucleate boiling state, i.e., the generated boiling bubbles have a small size.
S330: the superheat of the fluid circuit 20 is calculated and the voltage is adjusted so that the superheat is greater than the starting point superheat. Specifically, the degree of superheat can be represented by the formula Δ toh=Ta-TsIs calculated to obtain, wherein TsIs the fluid temperature monitored by the temperature sensor 330. When the degree of superheat in the fluid circuit 20 suddenly drops from the rising state, or when it is observed that the boiling fine bubbles form larger film-like bubbles on the surface of the heating element 130, the voltage of the power source 310 should be immediately reduced to a degree of superheat lower than the maximum degree of superheat in the rising state.
S40: the moving track and moving speed of the bubble in the flow channel 1010 are analyzed. Specifically, by intermittently adjusting the voltage U of the power source 310, micro-bubbles are intermittently generated on the surface of the heating assembly 130, thereby simulating the flow conditions of the fluid in the flow field during the operation of the fuel cell. An experimenter can judge the distribution uniformity of the fluid in the flow channels 1010 by analyzing the moving tracks of the micro-bubbles in the flow channels 1010 and the flowing speed of the bubbles in the single flow channel 1010.
The visual measuring device controls the temperature of the heating element 130 by the power source 310, controls the degree of superheat of the entire fluid circuit 20 and the surface heat generation rate of the heating element 130 by utilizing the principle that the boiling bubbles are smaller as the degree of superheat is larger, and makes the size of the generated boiling bubbles smaller than the cross-sectional size of the flow channel 1010, thereby more truly reflecting the flowing state of the fluid in the flow channel 1010 when the fuel cell is operated.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
