Refrigerant forced-convection condensation inside horizontal tubes

High vapor velocity condensation inside a tube was studied theoretically. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated by the momentum and heat transfer analogy. The Von Karman universal velocity distribution was applied to the condensate flow. Pressure drop was calculated by the Lockhart-Martinel...

description High vapor velocity condensation inside a tube was studied theoretically. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated by the momentum and heat transfer analogy. The Von Karman universal velocity distribution was applied to the condensate flow. Pressure drop was calculated by the Lockhart-Martinelli method and the Zivi void fraction equation. Experimental data was obtained for the mass velocities from 150,000 to 555,000 lbm/ft2 hr for R-12 and R-22 condensing in a 0.493" I.D. 18 ft. long test section. The measured heat transfer coefficients agreed with the prediction within 10% except a few points in the very low quality region.
