Category: SINGLE-PHASE

HTRI continues to improve its single-phase crossflow methods. We have completed a thorough review of heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for single-phase flow outside banks of plain- and low-finned tubes. This webinar highlights some of our findings and summarizes the performance of the improvements we are proposing for our correlations....

HTRI conducted liquid-phase and phase-change experiments in a welded plate heat exchanger (WPHE) provided by Hisaka Works, Ltd. With the test plate pack installed vertically, cold fluid flowed horizontally, and steam condensed downward. We conducted single-phase and boiling tests using p-xylene as the test fluid, as well as boiling tests using...
