Eco‐friendly mixtures may substitute pure working fluids in thermodynamic cycle processes, yet the existing calculation approaches of mixture condensation are complex due to iterative procedures and multiple input data. To simplify condenser design, this project aims for a new calculation method of mixtures. On this behalf, experimental data for the condensation of ethanol/water and ethanol/octamethyltrisiloxane is provided within a wide composition range to identify the most influential parameters. Finally, a practical prediction method for heat transfer coefficients of mixtures is suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
