Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients(HTCs) of HFC32/HFC134a, HFC125/HFC134a, HFC32/HFC125 and HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a were measured on a horizontal smooth tube. The experimental apparatus was specially designed to simulate the real heat transfer tube with the use of the secondary fluid of water. Data were taken in the order of decreasing heat flux starting at 80kW/$m^2\; and\; ending\; at\; 5kW/m^2$ in the pool temperature at $7^{\circ}C$. Test results showed that HTCs of these mixtures were 11~38% lower than those of ideal HTCs calculated by a linear mixing rule with pure fluids、 HTCs. Experimental data were compared with Stephan & Korner, Thome, Schlunder, Thome & Shakir、s correlations only to find that those correlations were not satisfactory for all fluids. Hence, a new correlation based on the present data was proposed which could be applied even to the ternary mixture. The correlation predicts the degradation of HTCs of mixtures well, showing a mean deviation of less than 15% for all the mixture data.

본 논문은 세관(ID<7 mm) 내 R-22와 R-134a의 증발 열전달과 유동양식에 대한 실험적 연구이다. R-22와 R-134a의 유동양식을 관찰하기 위해 내경 2와 8 mm의 파이렉스 튜브를 사용하였고, 열전달 계수는 내경 1.77, 3.35, 5.35 mm의 수평 평활동관에 대해서 측정하였다. 증발 유동양식에서 내경 2 mm의 환상류 영역이 내경 8 mm에 비해 저건도 영역에서 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 내경 2 mm의 유동양식은 Mandhane의 선도와 많은 오차를 보였다. 세관(ID<7 mm) 내 증발 열전달 계수는 종래의 대구경관(ID>7 mm)에 비해 관직경에 대한 영향이 많이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 내경 1.77 mm의 열전달 계수는 내경 3.36 mm와 5.35 mm에 비해서 20내지 30% 정도 높은 것을 나타났다. 또한 종래의 열전달 상관식(Shah's, Jung's, Kandlikar's and Oh-Katsuda's correlation)과 비교한 결과, 실험 데이터는 상관식과 많은 이탈 정도를 보였다. 따라서 실험데이타를 기초로 세관내 R-22와 R-134a에 적용할 수 있는 증발 열전달 상관식을 새로이 제안하였다.

인간이 쾌적한 환경을 요구하는 수준과 함께 개발 및 개선되어 온 공조용 finned tube 열교환 기에 대한 연구는 앞으로도 환경과 소형화 및 정숙 운전의 요구에 부응하기 위하여 지속적인 연구 및 개선이 요구될 것이다. 또한, 생산기술이 발달함에 따라 이에 적합한 새로운 형태의 경 제적이고 효율적인 열교환기의 설계가 필요할 것이다. 특히 앞으로 중요성이 더욱 강조될 환경 오염, 재료의 재활용 등의 측면은 현재 우리가 개척해야 할 분야일 것이다. 한편으로는 국내의 짧은 열교환기 개발의 역사에 의하여 지금까지 사용되어 온 외국의 기술 및 특허 등의 무　제에 대하여 국내 고유의 기술을 보유할 수 있도록 더욱 노력을 하여야 할 것이다. 나아가 실제 열 교환기에서의 확장표면의 효과, 냉동유의 영향 그리고 혼합냉매의 열전달 특성 등을 고려할 수 있는 상관식을 개발함으로써 국내의 열교환기 설계기술이 외국에 비하여 우위를 점할 수 있도록 하는 노력이 계속되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 미래까지 이러한 기술적 우위를 지속하기 위해서는 혼합냉매의 상변화 열전달현상의 기본 메카니즘을 밝히는 등의 열교환기에서의 열유동특성에 대한 기초적인 연구와 새로운 형태의 열교환기 개발 및 전기장을 이용한 열전달 촉진 등의 신 기술을 이용한 열전달 연구 등에 대한 투자와 관심이 지속되어야 한다.

An experimental study to investigate the condensing heat transfer characteristics of small diameter horizontal double pipe heat exchangers with R-22 and R-410A was performed. Experimental facility was constructed to calculate and observe HTC(heat transfer coefficients), flow patterns and pressure drop. The main components include a liquid pump, an evaporator, a condenser(test section), a sight-glass, pressure taps and measurement apparatus. Two pipes of different diameters are tested; One 5.35 mm ID 0.5 mm thick, the other 3.36 mm ID 0.7 mm thick. The mass flow rate ranged from 200 to $500\;ks/m^2{\cdot}s$ and heating capacity were form 1.0 to 2.4 kW. The flow patterns of R-22 and R-410A were observed with a high speed camera through the sight-glass. The tests revealed that HTC of R-410A was higher than that of R-22 by maximum 5%. Annular pattern was observed for the most cases but stratified flow was also detected when x<0.2. The pressure drop in 3.36 mm ID pipe was higher than that of 5.35 mm by $30{\sim}50%$. Comparing with previous correlations such as Shah, Fujii and Soliman's, Fujii' showed the best good agreement with my data with a maximum deviation of 40%.

Boiling heat transfer coefficients of pure refrigerants(R22, R32, R125, R134a, R290, and R600a) and refrigerant mixtures(R32/R134a and R290/R600a) are measured experimentally and compared with several correlations. Convective boiling term of Chen's correlation predicts experimental data for pure refrigerants fairly well(root-mean-square error of 12.1% for the quality range over 0.2). An analysis of convective boiling heat transfer of refrigerant mixtures is performed for an annular flow to study degradation of heat transfer. Annular flow is the subject of this analysis because a great portion of the evaporator in refrigeration or air conditioning system is known to be in the annular flow regime. Mass transfer effect due to composition difference between liquid and vapor phases, which is considered as a driving force for mass transfer at interface, is included in this analysis. Correction factor $C_F$ is introduced to the correlation for the pure substances through annular flow analysis to apply the correlation to the mixtures. The flow boiling heat transfer coefficients are calculated using the correlation considering nucleate boilling effect in the low quality region and mass transfer effect for nonzazeotropic refrigerant mixtures.

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) were measured with one nonazeotropic mixture of Propane/Isobutane and two azeotropic mixtures of HFC134a/Isobutane and Propane/HFC134a. All data were taken at the liquid pool temperature of $7^{\circ}C$ on a horizontal plain tube with heat fluxes of $10kW/m^2\;to\;80kW/m^2$ with an interval of $10kW/m^2$ in the decreasing order of heat flux. The measurements were made through electrical heating by a cartridge heater. The nonazeotropic mixture of Propane/Isobutane showed a reduction of HTCs as much as 41% from the ideal values. The azeotropic mixtures of HFC134a/Isobutane and Propane/HFC134a showed a reduction of HTCs as much as 44% from the ideal values at compositions other than azeotropic compositions. At azeotropic compositions, however, the HTCs were even higher than the ideal values due to the increase in the vapor pressure. For all mixtures, the reduction in heat transfer was greater with a larger gliding temperature difference. Stephan and $K{\ddot{o}}rner's$ and Jung et al's correlations predicted the HTCs of mixtures with a mean deviation of 11%. The largest mean deviation occurred at the azeotropic compositions of HFC134a/Isobutane and Propane/HFC134a.

The condensation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops of hydrocarbon refrigerants (R-290 and R-600a) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants were measured in the two horizontal double pipe heat exchangers with inner diameters of 10.07 mm and 5.80 mm at a mass flux of $35.5{\sim}210.4\;kg/m^2s$ and the condensation temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. The average condensation heat transfer coefficients of hydrocarbon refrigerants were higher than that of HCFC refrigerant(R-22). The pressure drop had a magnitude in the order of R-600a > R-290 > R-22. The pressure drops in the tubes with inner diameter of 10.07 mm were approximately $6{\sim}15%$, $9.8{\sim}12.5%$ and $2.1{\sim}4.6%$ higher for R-600a, R-290 and R-22, respectively, than those with inner diameter of 5.80 mm. The condensation heat transfer coefficients were compared with the published experimental data, and showed the best agreement with Haraguchi et al.'s correlation.

This paper presents a pressure drop correlation for evaporation and condensation of alternative refrigerant with oil in micro-fin tubes. The correlation was developed from a data base consisting of oil-free pure and mixed refrigerants in micro-fin tube; Rl25 R134a. R32 R410a(R32/R125 50/50% mass), R22, R407c(R32/R125/R134a, 23/25/52% mass) and R32/R134a(25/75% mass). The micro-fin tube used in this paper had 60 0.2mm high fins with a 18 helix angle. The cross sectional flow area $(A_c)$ was $60.8 mm^2$ giving an equivalent smooth diameter$(D_e)$ of 8.8mm. The hydraulic diameter $(D_h)$ was estimated to the 5.45mm. The new correlation was obtained by replacing the friction factor and the tube-diameter in Bo Pierre correlation by a friction factor derived from pressure drop data for a micro-fin tube and the hydraulic diameter, respectively. This correlation was also used to predict some pressure data with a lubricant after using a mixing viscosity rule of lubricants and refrigerants. As a result, the new correlation was also well predicted to the measured data within a mean deviation of 19.0%.

A significant amount of studies were performed on evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop in microfin tubes. Most studies, however, focused on the refrigerants used in air-conditioners or heat pumps, and very limited information is available on R-404A, which is used in low temperature refrigeration. In this study, the evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of R-404A in a 9.5 mm O.D. microfin tube were investigated for the mass flux range from $80kg/m^2s$ and $200kg/m^2s$. A smooth tube of the same outer dimeter was also tested for comparison. The results showed that the heat transfer enhancement ratio of the microfin tube increased with increasing mass flux and the heat flux decreased. The relative contribution of the convective heat transfer and the heat flux on total heat transfer was attributed to the observed trend. The pressure drops of the microfin tube were slightly (maximum 28%) larger than those of the smooth tube. Existing correlations do not adequately predict the measured heat transfer coefficients of pressure drops, probably due to the test range of the present study, which is outside of the existing correlations.
