Abstract:This study aims to provide condensation heat transfer coefficients of R600a (isobutane) refrigerant under mass fluxes between 50 and 98 kg/m2·s at saturation temperatures of 35 °C, 40 °C and 45 °C. Additionally, experiments are conducted with varying inlet vapour quality to understand its effect on the condensation heat transfer measurement. An aluminium multiport microchannel with a hydraulic diameter () of 0.399 mm is used, where a plexiglass cover is mounted on the top of the microchannels to observe the fl… Show more
