Simulation on condensation heat transfer characteristic of natural refrigerant R290 inside tube
A model for calculating condensation heat transfer of natural refrigerant R290 inside a tube is selected by analyzing and comparing the available correlations.The flow pattern of two-phase flow of natural refrigerant R290 condensation process inside the tube is obtained.The transition of mass velocity from stratified flow to stratified-wavy flow
from stratified-wavy flow to annular and intermittent flow
from annular and intermittent flow to mist flow
and from mist flow to bubbly flow as vapor quality changes are determined.Under the same condition
the experimental and predicted values of R290 condensation heat transfer coefficients increase with the increase of vapor quality
and their difference is not significant.The condensation heat transfer coefficients of R290 and R22 increase gradually with the increase of vapor quality
the condensation heat transfer coefficient of R290 is higher than that of R22
and their difference increases with the increase of vapor quality
so it is concluded that natural refrigerant R290 has good condensation heat transfer characteristic.
