Corrélations pour le transfert de chaleur, la chute de pression de solutions glycol-eau et l'écoulement d'air dans des échangeurs de chaleur à microcanaux.

Correlations for heat transfer and pressure drop of glycol-water and air flows in minichannel heat exchangers.

Résumé

The thermo-hydrodynamic performance of three different minichannel heat exchangers of an automotive air conditioning system is studied and discussed in this paper. It proposes semi-empirical correlations for the heat transfer and pressure drop for the glycol-water flow within the minichannels and airflow through the louvered fin surfaces. The uncertainty estimates for the measured and calculated parameters are also presented. The results for the glycol-water heat transfer and pressure drop are plotted, discussed, and compared with the relevant studies. The results show that the Nusselt number of the glycol-water flow within the minichannels continue to increase with Reynolds number, even at low Reynolds numbers (less than 1000), due to application of unique surface enhancements within the minichannels.
