“…Thonon [5] and more recently Moreira et al [6] have reviewed the literature on twophase characteristics of flowing hydrocarbons, noting the scarcity of data available from independent laboratories for system design such as HTC and pressure drop. Moreover, the available data seem to only focus on smooth tubes, and internally enhanced tubes are not studied.…”

A database for flowing condensation of three hydrocarbons, namely propane (R290), isobutane (R600a), and propylene (R1270), is extended by experimental tests in a smooth tube and two microfinned tubes with an increase of heat exchange area of 1.51 and 2.63, respectively. The outer diameter for all of the test tubes was 5 mm. Heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are compared between the fluids and tubes. Tests were conducted at saturation temperatures of 35 °C and mass fluxes between 200 to 500 kgm−2s−1. Results show that isobutane (R600a) has a higher heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop while propylene (R1270) and propane (R290) present very similar characteristics. Both microfinned tubes increase the heat transfer coefficient compared to the smooth tube, but with different magnitude and tendencies and almost independently of the fluid tested. The maximum increase of heat transfer coefficient reached values of up to 1.8 while the maximum increase in pressure drop was by a factor of 1.7. Data have been compared with predictive methods exhibiting accurate correlation for smooth tube, while the accuracy of results for the microfinned are dependent on the type of tube and fluid used.

“…Enhancement of condensation heat transfer: Many recent reviewed research articles [23][24][25] are reported for advanced condensation phenomenon techniques. For condensation, the two major conditions that are nucleation on the surface and departure of liquid droplets are greatly influenced by the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity properties of solid surfaces.…”

Introduction to Engineering Heat Transfer

This chapter contains a brief overview of both boiling and condensation heat transfer phenomena. Boiling and condensation are the two convective heat transfer phenomena that involve phase change from liquid to vapour and vapour to liquid, respectively. The chapter starts with the basis of heat transfer with an emphasis on the boiling and condensation phenomenon. Next, the overview of the boiling phenomenon and its different classifications like pool, flow, and subcooled and saturated boiling are discussed in detail. Different boiling regimes (natural convection boiling, nucleate boiling, transition boiling and film boiling) with the observed heat transfer rate in the case of pool boiling are mentioned in detail using the boiling curve. The heat transfer aspect and basics of condensation with types (drop and film-wise condensation) and application are also presented. The derivation for the calculation of the rate of heat transfer during film condensation with the correlations for heat transfer coefficient on vertical, horizontal and inclined plates is explained. Some numerical for the calculation of the rate of heat transfer and heat transfer coefficient for condensation phenomena has been also been mentioned. Apart from a basic overview, this chapter also includes information about the advanced heat transfer enhancement techniques available for boiling and condensation.
