This report discusses liquid-phase and flow boiling data collected on the shell side of a horizontal, nonbaffled plain tube bundle. Using these and other HTRI data, we evaluated heat transfer predictions from HTRI Xchanger Suite 7.3 and modified our methods. Fluid temperature measurements around the bundle demonstrate thermal stratification of liquid...

Boiling, condensation, and multi-phase flows exist in many heat exchanger applications. This webinar describes the basic ideas used in heat transfer and pressure drop calculations of two-phase flow. It discusses theoretical and empirical models, a flow regime-based approach, and an overview of experimental research in the field....

Under contract with HTRI, the Sustainable Thermal Systems Laboratory (STSL) at Georgia Institute of Technology is studying intube condensation with pentane, propane, and propane/ethane mixtures. The STSL is conducting experiments in the Phase-Change Heat Transfer Test Facility, a closed loop, single-pressure system. In the first phase of the study, the STSL...

HTRI collected falling film evaporation data for two pure components and three mixtures in a vertical tube. Current falling film methods in Xist® 8.2 underpredict most of the measured heat transfer coefficients. Based on the latest data, we have improved our heat transfer methods, including a vapor-shear enhancement factor, a new mixture correction factor...
