Download or read book Modeling of Evaporation and Condensation Pressure-drop in Micro-fin Tubes written by Meng-Onn Tan and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three existing pressure-drop models are validated and analyzed with experimental data compiled from the research database. From the analysis, it was found that the pressure-drop prediction results from the models are not very accurate and not consistent with all experimental datasets. A new pressure-drop model was consequently created based on the findings from the study, and experimental data from the database were used to validate the model to produce more accurate and consistent predictions. The new pressure-drop model was tested on experimental datasets that were in the database and also with experimental datasets that were not in the database. Good and consistent results were achieved, and the new model proved capable of predicting pressure drops for different pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures flowing inside different configurations of micro-fin tubes for both condensation and evaporation.
