Entropy generation analysis on condensation upward flow for hydrocarbon mixture in two types of helical wavy pipes

This paper proposed the application of two types of wavy structures for spiral wound heat exchanger, and conducted numerical simulations on the condensation flow of a hydrocarbon mixture with methane, ethane, and propane in them. The effects of saturation pressure and mass velocity are also studied....
