Falling-film evaporation on horizontal tubes: a critical review.

Author(s) : RIBATSKI G., JACOBI A. M.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

A state-of-the-art review of horizontal-tube, falling film evaporation is presented; the review is critical, in an attempt to uncover strengths and weaknesses in prior research, with the overall purpose of clearly identifying gaps in our understanding. The review covers flow-pattern studies, and the experimental parameters that affect the heat transfer performance on plain single tubes, enhanced surfaces and tube bundles. In addition, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the significant efforts to develop mathematical models, and empirical correlations for the heat transfer coefficient. Emphasis is placed on studies that are related to refrigeration applications.
