ShareModelling and simulation of thermal and hydrodynamic performance of heat exchangers for automotive applications. 1. Condensers.
Author(s) : MATHUR G. D.
Summary
A program has been developed to optimize the performance of finned tube condensers and to predict the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of finned tube condensers. The model is based on a steady-state finite difference model. The correlations for predicting the heat transfer and pressure drop are used from the literature. Experimental test data are used to validate the developed model for a finned tube condenser with R134a as working fluid. 16% of the total heat transfer area is occupied by single-phase vapor flow, 72% by condensation and 12% by subcooling.
