Comparison of flow fields of a pure fluid and a zeotropic mixture for condensation in a shell-and-tube condenser.

Author(s) : KARLSSON T.

Summary

Condensation of a pure refrigerant and a zeotropic refrigerant mixture in a shell-and-tube condenser is investigated in an advanced calculation model based on a developed condensation routine coupled to a commercial CFD program. The aim of the investigation is to make a three-dimensional calculation model for mixture condensation, and to see if previous results from 2D calculations also can be seen in 3D calculations, namely a significant difference between the flow fields of a pure fluid and a mixture.
