Hydrodynamic characteristics of propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), and 50/50 mixture of propane and isobutane.

Author(s) : MATHUR G. D.

Summary

Pressure gradients for single-phase flows (both vapour and liquid) and two-phase flow during boiling and condensation are presented for propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), and a 50/50 mixture (by weight) of propane and isobutane. The pressure gradients are presented for smooth tubes based on standard correlations available in the literature for pure refrigerants. The mass flux of the refrigerant is varied over a wide range typically encountered in residential, commercial, and automotive applications.
