Comparison of the Evaporation and Condensation Heat Transfer Coefficients on the External Surface of Tubes in the Annulus of a Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchanger

An experimental study was carried out to explore the heat transfer characteristics on the outside of smooth and enhanced tubes, during evaporation and condensation of R134A in the annulus of a tube-in-tube heat exchanger. The three-dimensional enhanced surface tube consisted of primary enhancement p...
