Abstract:This study presents an improved correlation for predicting heat transfer coefficients for condensation inside smooth macro-tubes. Experimental data was obtained for various fluids, including R12, R1234yf, R1234ze, R134a, R22, R263fa, R245a, R32, R404a, R410a, and R600a. Tube diameters ranging from 3 to 14 mm, mass fluxes ranging from 50 to 1400 kg/m2s, and a vapor quality between 0 and 1 were used to cover a wide range of operating conditions. This data included 1683 data points from 50 sources. The comparison… Show more
