The purpose of this work was to study the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics ofHFC-134a in a micro-fined tube with an 18 degree helix angle and to compare them to those in a smooth tube for various operating conditions.The experimental test facility is designed, developed and is used to determine the condensation HTC and pressure drop in smooth and micro-fin tubes for various HFC refrigerants namely HFC-134a, R-404A, R-407C, R-507A. The experimentation covers wide range of operating parameters such as mass flux and condensing temperatures. The instrumentations used for measurements are calibrated from recognized calibration centres. The hermetically sealed compressor is used for circulating refrigerant; effect of oil present in the refrigerant during condensation is also taken into account. The condensation of HFC-134a and R-404A in smooth and micro-fin tubes are measured and obtained the values of condensation HTCs and pressure drops for different mass flux and condensing temperatures

This book presents new methods of numerical modelling of tube heat exchangers, which can be used to perform design and operation calculations of exchangers characterized by a complex flow system. It also proposes new heat transfer correlations for laminar, transition and turbulent flows. A large part of the book is devoted to experimental testing of heat exchangers, and methods for assessing the indirect measurement uncertainty are presented. Further, it describes a new method for parallel determination of the Nusselt number correlations on both sides of the tube walls based on the nonlinear least squares method and presents the application of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling to determine the air-side Nusselt number correlations. Lastly, it develops a control system based on the mathematical model of the car radiator and compares this with the digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The book is intended for students, academics and researchers, as well as for designers and manufacturers of heat exchangers.

Excerpt from Horizontal Convective Condensation of Alternative Refrigerants Within a Micro-Fin Tube As shown in Fig. 3, six refrigerant pressure taps along the test section allowed the measurement of the upstream absolute pressure and five pressure drops along the test section. Two sets of two water pressure taps were used to measure the water pressure drop along each tube. Also, a sheathed thermocouple measured the refrigerant temperature at each end of the two refrigerant tubes, with the junction of each centered radially. Only the thermocouple at the inlet of the first tube was used in the calculations. Theentire test section was wrapped with 5 cm of foam insulation to minimize heat transfer between the water and the ambient.
