“…A theoretical and experimental study was developed under the following operating conditions: ammonia mass flow rate within the range 0.0227-0.0387 kg/s; condensing temperature of 25 • C; evaporating temperature between −10 and −1.5 • C; and cooling brine temperature between 4.1 and 6.4 • C. The best predictions in terms of ammonia boiling heat transfer coefficient experimental value were made by applying Shah and Jokar correlations having an MAE of 14.23% and 17.7%, respectively. The other ten correlations analyzed, namely Khan [2], Sterner and Sunden [3], Arima [4], Almalfi [5], Huang [11], Ayub [12], Kandlikar [16], Koyama [26], Danilova [27], and Sterner and Taborek [28], lead to unacceptably large deviations compared to the experimental values, under the specified conditions related to the system operating conditions. The novelty of our study focused on the following main ideas: − To date, ammonia boiling in PHE has been less approached in Romania.…”
