A COMPARISON OF R134A AND R12 IN-TUBE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS BASED ON EXISTING CORRELATIONS.

Author(s) : ECKELS S. J., PATE M. B.

Summary

HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS FOR EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATION OF R134A AND R12 ARE COMPARED FOR A RANGE OF CONDITIONS TYPICALLY FOUND IN HEAT EXCHANGERS USED FOR REFRIGERATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS. THE CORRELATIONS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ECS IE.N RC AO5%. EVAPORATION CORRELATIONS PREDICT INCREASES FROM 28 TO 40%, DEPENDING ON THE REFRIGERANT TEMPERATURE, TUBE DIAMETER, AND TUBE LENGTH. CONDENSATION CORRELATIONS PREDICT INCREASES FROM 33 TO 38%, DEPENDING ON THE REFRIGERANT TEMPERATURE.
