ShareSummary
This paper presents flow regimes and void fraction in horizontal and vertical round tubes ID 7 mm with R134a in the adiabatic conditions and low mass flux (40-150 kg/m2s for horizontal tubes and 65-115 kg/m2s for vertical tubes) captured by a high-speed camera. Horizontal flow patterns are compared to Wojtan-Ursenbacher-Thome flow regime map and some modifications are proposed. Void fraction results for both horizontal and vertical tubes are compared to some widely used correlations. Influences of tube orientation and mass flux on void fraction are discussed. At the same vapor quality condition, void fraction of horizontal tubes is larger than that of vertical tubes. Higher mass flux also results in larger void fraction compared that of lower mass flux.
