Summary

This dissertation presented at the Faculté des Sciences of Dhar El Mehraz, Morocco, for the title of doctor in physical sciences (specialty: heat transfer), deals with an experimental study of evaporation and condensation, inside a horizontal smooth tube, of HFC-22 and HFC-134a and of a HFC-23/HFC-134a zeotropic blend of different compositions. Correlations for calculating the coefficient of exchange during evaporation and condensation were validated in tests on pure refrigerants. In the case of zeotropic blends, a significant drop in the evaporative exchange coefficient was observed. A model was presented and validated to account for this drop, in both nucleate-boiling and convective evaporation. In condensation, the exchange coefficients obtained were scarcely affected by the blend. A conventional correlation taking into account the physical properties of the blend was presented. Pressure losses can be estimated with conventional models through the use of the blend's physical properties.
