pressure drop prediction of r-134a two phase flow inside evaporators

چکیده
the pressure drop of refrigerant r-134a flow boiling inside a horizontal tube has been investigated experimentally. the test set-up which was used in this investigation is a well instrumented vapor compression refrigeration system. these instruments are thermocouples, flow meter, pressure gauges and the pressure drop measuring apparatus. this system consisted of three electrically heated evaporators called as pre-evaporator, test evaporator and after evaporator, respectively. the empirical pressure drop data for two phase flow boiling of r-134a inside a horizontal tube of 7.5mm internal diameter has been collected. the ranges of mass velocities and vapor qualities are 54-136 kg/m2s and 0.2-1, respectively. the collected data were compared with the predicted pressure drop values by seven different correlations. finally, a new correlation was developed to predict the pressure drop of two phase flow inside evaporators.

متن کاملTwo Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model
Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...

The small hydraulic diameters employed during ow boiling in compact evaporator passages are becoming more important in diverse applications including electronics cooling and fuel cell evaporators. The high pressure drop characteristics of these passages are particularly important as they alter the ow and heat transfer, especially in parallel multichannel congurations. The pressure drop osc...

متن کاملPrediction of Pressure Drop of Refrigerants for Two- Phase Flow inside a Horizontal Tube Using Cfd Analysis
Two phase flow in a horizontal tube has widespread applications, particularly in the condensers of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Pressure drop prediction is especially important for condensers because the local condensing temperature is a function of local pressure, affecting the mean temperature difference in the heat exchanger. In the present analysis, two phase flow is treated ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Single Phase/Two-Phase Models for Nanofluid Forced Convection and Pressure Drop in a Turbulence Pipe Flow
In this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. In numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. In single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. Effects of volume fraction a...
