Heat Transfer Analysis of Refrigerant Flow in an Evaporator Tube

Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8

Abstract

 the paper aim is to presenting the heat transfer analysis of refrigerant flow in an evaporator tube is done. The main objective of this paper is to find the length of the evaporator tube for a pre-defined refrigerant inlet state such that the refrigerant at the tube outlet is superheated. The problem involves refrigerant flowing inside a straight, horizontal copper tube over which water is in cross flow. Inlet condition of the both fluids and evaporator tube detail except its length are specified. here pressure and enthalpy at discrete points along the tube are calculated by using two-phase frictional pressure drop model. Predicted values were compared using another different pressure drop model. A computer-code using Turbo C has been developed for performing the entire calculation.
