An Experimental Investigation of Condensation Heat Transfer Coefficient Using R-410A in Horizontal Circular Tubes

Experimental Investigation of the Condensation Heat Transfer Coefficient of R134a inside Horizontal Smooth and Micro-Fin Tubes

The condensation heat transfer coefficient of R134a was experimentally studied inside two smooth and four micro-fin tubes. The working conditions and structural parameters of the test tubes were selected as the influencing factors, and the experiment was conducted under mass velocities of 400–1100 kg·m−2·s−1, condensation temperatures of 35–45 ◦C and water-testing Reynolds numbers of 8000–22,00...

An experimental investigation of heat transfer of Fe2O3/Water nanofluid in a double pipe heat exchanger

One way to increase the heat transfer is to use perforated twisted tapes with different hole diameters, which largely improve heat transfer with an increase in the heat transfer area at the constant volume and more mixed flow. In the previous studies, the effect of nanofluids with perforated twisted tapes is less studied. In this work, the performance of water / iron oxide nanofluid in a double...

Experimental Investigation of Boiling and Condensation Heat Transfer of a two Phase Closed Thermosyphon

In this paper the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase closed thermosyphon over a wide range of heat transfer rates, system pressure, aspect ratios and filling ratios were studied. The experiments focused on the boiling and condensation heat transfer characteristics of the thermosyphon. The experimental boiling and condensation heat transfer coefficients inside the thermosyphon were com...
