THE EFFECT OF VOID FRACTION CORRELATION AND HEAT FLUX ASSUMPTION ON REFRIGERANT CHARGE INVENTORY PREDICTIONS.

Author(s) : RICE C. K.

Summary

10 VOID FRACTION CORRELATIONS AND 4 HEAT FLUX ASSUMPTIONS ARE EVALUATED FOR THEIR EFFECT ON REFRIGERANT CHARGE INVENTORY PREDICTIONS. THE CHOICE OF VOID FRACTION MODEL IS FOUND TO HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT ON REFRIGERANT INVENTORY PREDICTION. THE CORRELATIONS OF HUGHMARK, PREMOLI, TANDON AND BAROCZY ARE FOUND TO GIVE THE HIGHEST PREDICTIONS AND CLOSEST AGREEMENT TO MEASURED TOTAL SYSTEM CHARGE. THE CHOICE OF HEAT FLUX ASSUMPTION IS SHOWN TO BE INSIGNIFICANT FOR FORCED-FLOW EVAPORATORS AND OF SECONDARY TO POSSIBLY EQUAL IMPORTANCE TO CHOICE OF VOID FRACTION MODEL FOR CONDENSERS.
