R22 is the most widely employed HCFC working fluid in vapour compression plant. HCFCs must be replaced within 2020. Major problems arise with the substitution of the working fluids, related to the decrease in performance of the plant. Therefore, extremely accurate design procedures are needed. The relative sizing of each of the components of the plant is crucial for cycle performance. For this reason, the knowledge of the new fluids heat transfer characteristics in condensers and evaporators is required. The local heat transfer coefficients and pressure drop of pure R22 and of the azeotropic mixture R507 (R125-R143a 50%/50% in weight) have been measured during convective boiling. The test section is a smooth horizontal tube made of a with a 6 mm I.D. stainless steel tube, 6 m length, uniformly heated by Joule effect. The effects of heat flux, mass flux and evaporation pressure on the heat transfer coefficients are investigated. The evaporating pressure varies within the range 3 ÷10 bar, the refrigerant mass flux within the range 200 ÷ 1000 kg/m2s, the heat flux within 0 ÷ 44 kW/m2. A comparison have been carried out between the experimental data and those predicted by means of the most credited literature relationships.

A test facility is described that has been constructed to investigate local heat transfer and pressure drop for evaporating or condensing refrigerants. The empirical method of B. Pierre [1] for correlating the average heat-transfer coefficients of refrigerants evaporating in horizontal tubes is presented in conjunction with the data of several authors [3–6]. Data on local heat-transfer coefficients and pressure drop are presented for Refrigerant-22 evaporating in two 4-ft-long, 0.343-in-ID straight horizontal tubes, and are correlated by a refinement of the curve proposed in [1]. The procedure of Martinelli-Nelson [9] correlated the data for local pressure drop within 15 per cent.

Transfer Characteristics

Experiments are conducted to study the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a triangular duct cooled by an array of tangential jets, simulating the leading-edge cooling circuit of a turbine blade. Coolant ejected from a high-pressure plenum through an array of orifices is aimed at the leading-edge apex and exits from the radial outlets. Three different outflow orientations, namely coincident with the entry flow, opposed to the entry flow, and both, are tested for various Reynolds numbers 12600⩽Re⩽42000. A transient liquid crystal technique is used to measure the detailed heat transfer coefficients on two walls forming the leading-edge apex. Flow rate across each jet hole and the crossflow development, which are closely related to the local heat transfer characteristics, are also measured. Results show that increasing Re increases the heat transfer on both walls. The outflow orientation affects significantly the local heat transfer characteristics through influencing the jet flow together with the crossflow in the triangular duct. The triangular duct with two openings is recommended since it has the highest wall-averaged heat transfer and the moderate loss coefficient among the three outflow orientations investigated. Correlations for wall-averaged Nusselt number and loss coefficient in the triangular duct have been developed by considering the Reynolds number for three different outflow orientations.

Condensing and evaporating heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of an ozone friendly refrigerant HFC-134a and a HCFC refrigerant R-22, flowing inside a 9.5 mm (3/8 in) OD axially grooved tube were investigated experimentally to obtain the quasi-local heat transfer data and the correlations. When compared to R-22 at the same refrigerant flow rate, the condensing heat transfer coefficients for R-134a are 8 percent to 18 percent higher, and the pressure drop is 50 percent higher. The evaporating heat transfer coefficient with R-134a is about the same for mass velocity below 270 kg/m2-s and decreases above that velocity, relative to R-22. Performance characteristics are compared with data from literature reports.

Abstract The paper deals with a study of the effect of regulating elements on local values of heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces with forced air convection. The use of combined methods of heat transfer intensification, i.e. a combination of regulating elements with appropriately shaped heat exchange areas seems to be highly effective. The study focused on the analysis of local values of heat transfer coefficients in indicated cuts, in distances expressed as a ratio x/s for 0; 0.33; 0.66 and 1. As can be seen from our findings, in given conditions the regulating elements can increase the values of local heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces. An optical method of holographic interferometry was used for the experimental research into temperature fields in the vicinity of heat exchange surfaces. The obtained values correspond very well with those of local heat transfer coefficients αx, recorded in a CFD simulation.

AbstractAnticipating the processes and parameters involved for accomplishing a sound metal casting requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying behaviors characterizing a liquid melt solidifying inside its mold. Heat balance represents a major factor in describing the thermal conditions in a casting process and one of its main influences is the heat transfer between the casting and its surroundings. Local heat transfer coefficients describe how well heat can be transferred from one body or material to another. This paper will discuss the estimation of these coefficients in a gravity die casting process with local air gap formation and heat shrinkage induced contact pressure. Both an experimental evaluation and a numerical modeling for a solidification simulation will be performed as two means of investigating the local heat transfer coefficients and their local differences for regions with air gap formation or contact pressure when casting A356 (AlSi7Mg0.3).

Survey of the works on condensation inside smooth horizontal tubes published from 1955 to 2013 has been performed. Theoretical and experimental investigations, as well as more than 25 methods and correlations for heat transfer prediction are considered. It is shown that accuracy of this prediction depends on the accuracy of volumetric vapor content and pressure drop at the interphase. The necessity of new studies concerning both local heat transfer coefficients and film condensation along tube perimeter and length under annular, stratified and intermediate regimes of phase flow was substantiated. These characteristics being defined will allow determining more precisely the boundaries of the flow regimes and the methods of heat transfer prediction.

Cooling Passage

Systematic experiments are conducted to measure heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss characteristics on a square channel (simulating a gas turbine blade cooling passage) with two opposite surfaces roughened by 45 deg parallel ribs. Copper plates fitted with a silicone heater and instrumented with thermocouples are used to measure regionally averaged local heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers studied in the channel range from 30,000 to 400,000. The rib height (e) to hydraulic diameter (D) ratio ranges from 0.1 to 0.18. The rib spacing (p) to height ratio (p/e) ranges from 5 to 10. Results show higher heat transfer coefficients at smaller values of p/e and larger values of e/D, though at the cost of higher friction losses. Results also indicate that the thermal performance of the ribbed channel falls with increasing Reynolds numbers. Correlations predicting Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f¯) as a function of p/e, e/D, and Re are developed. Also developed are correlations for R and G (friction and heat transfer roughness functions, respectively) as a function of the roughness Reynolds number (e+), p/e, and e/D.
