A Modified Correlative Model for Condensation Heat Transfer in Horizontal Enhanced Tubes with R32 and R410A Refrigerants

Condensation Heat Transfer of Pure Refrigerants in Microfin Tubes

Analysis of variance of nanofluid heat transfer data for forced convection in horizontal spirally coiled tubes

In the present study, an experimental study is carried out to investigate the effect of adding Al and Cu nanoparticles to the base fluid (water) on the heat transfer rate in a spirally coiled tube. The spirally coiled tube is fabricated from the straight copper tube with the inner and outer coil diameters of 100 and 420 mm, respectively. The experiments have been done for water and two types of...

Experimental and Theoretical Study on Condensation Heat Transfer of Nonazeotropic Refrigerant Mixtures R1234yf/R32 Inside a Horizontal Smooth Tube

The condensation heat transfer characteristics of nonazeotropic mixtures R1234yf and R32 (mass fractions of 0.52:0.48 and 0.77:0.23, respectively) inside a horizontal smooth tube (inner diameter 4 mm) were experimentally studied at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 300 kg/m s. A prediction model for the forced convective condensation heat transfer characteristics of nonazeotropic refrigerant mixt...

Evaporation and Condensation Heat Transfer Performance of Flammable Refrigerants in a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

Average Nusselt numbers were measured for R22, R290, R290/600a, and R32/152a undergoing evaporation and condensation in a brazed plate heat exchanger. The refrigerants experienced wavy, stratified flow at low heat and mass fluxes, 1.3 kW/m2 to 8.3 kW/m2 and 1.6 kg/m2 s to 19 kg/m 2 s, respectively. Heat transfer correlations from the literature for in-tube and channel flow of refrigerants with ...
