Abstract
Experimental results of local heat transfer coefficients for the boiling of real working fluids (solutions of R600a with mineral naphthenic oil ISO VG 15) in smooth tube with small diameter (5.4 mm) are presented. The tests were carried out for the inlet pressure in the range from 71.1 kPa to 77.9 kPa, heat flux was 3800 W/m2, and mass velocity of working fluid was from 14.75 to 18.36 kg/(m2s). The quantitative estimation in reduction of heat transfer coefficient of the wetted surface in evaporator at high oil concentration in the mixture is made. The influence of mass velocities of the working fluid on the values of the local heat transfer coefficients are analyzed. Based on the results obtained it was observed that increasing mass velocity leads to increase the local heat transfer coefficient of RWF both on side of wetted perimeter and vapor phase. The equation for the modeling of the local heat transfer coefficient for boiling of isobutane/compressor oil solution flow in the pipe is suggested.
