This study is a contribution for the improvement of horizontal falling film heat exchangers. This type of evaporator has the potential to be widely used in the petrochemical industry, for the sea water desalination, or in the large refrigeration systems. A ...
The current industrial need for compact high heat density cooling devices has conveyed an increasing interest on convective boiling in micro-channels. Although there is general agreement that these systems may be able to dissipate potentially very high hea ...
The reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow is an important prerequisite to accurate optimization of thermal systems. Because of the complexity of these types of flow, empirical or semiempirical relationships are only of limited reliability ...
An improved two-phase flow pattern map is proposed for evaporation in horizontal tubes. Based on new flow pattern data for three different refrigerants covering a wide range of mass velocities, vapor qualities and heat fluxes. The new flow pattern map incl ...
The flow pattern based flow boiling heat transfer and two-phase pressure drop models for CO2, recently developed by Cheng et al. [L Cheng, G. Ribatski. J. Moreno Quiben, J.R. Thome, New prediction methods for CO2 evaporation inside tubes: Part I - A two-ph ...
Experimental test results for flow boiling of pure ammonia inside horizontal tubes were obtained for a plain tube and a microfin tube. Tests were run at a nominal saturation temperature of 4°C, mass velocities from 20-140 kg/m2s, vapor qualities from 1-99% ...
The substitution of CFC refrigerants in refrigeration systems, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles, requests a good knowledge of the heat transfer and pressure drop properties of substitute fluids. A contribution to this international effort is proposed ...
This article presents experimental results of heat transfer from two different studies [1, 2] for horizontal flow boiling inside smooth copper tubes with different refrigerants. The main goal of this study was to verify the influence of the saturation temp ...
In tune with the falling film evaporation heat transfer test results described in Part 1, flow visualization of the boiling process and intertube flow mode transitions from droplet to column and sheet flows have been observed, and the onset of dryout resul ...
