A study on capillary tube flow.

Summary

The paper studies the effect of various design parameters on the performance of the capillary tube. A homogeneous two phase flow model was used to illustrate various effects of the design parameters such as: tube diameter, tube roughness, tube length, degrees of subcooling and the refrigerant flow rates on capillary tube performance. The validation of the prediction is confirmed by comparing predicted pressure distribution and critical mass flow with available measured values.
