Flow boiling heat transfer correlations considered in this work
Abstract
This chapter demonstrates the two‐phase flow pressure drop and heat transfer of R410A during boiling in various tube types. The pressure drop and local heat transfer coefficients were obtained for heat fluxes ranging from 10 to 40 kW/m2, mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 600 kg/m2s, the vapour quality up to 1.0 and the saturation temperatures of 5–15°C. The test sections were made of various tube diameters of 1.5, 3.0, 6.61 and 7.49 mm, respectively. The effect of mass flux, heat flux, saturation temperature and inner tube diameter on pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient was analysed. The experimental results were compared against several existing pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient correlation. New correlations of pressure drop and boiling heat transfer coefficient were also developed in this present study.

1. Introduction
Mini‐channels are progressively used in making the compact heat exchangers nowadays. The application of these heat exchanger types in refrigeration and air‐conditioning fields shows various advantages such as higher efficiency, lower air side pressure drop, reducing refrigerant charge and the more compactness size compared to the conventional types. The development of numerous tube types enables the creation of even more effective compact heat exchangers.
At the low value of saturation temperature (normally from -30 to 20°C), say, those are typically applied in refrigeration and air‐conditioning, Kim et al. [1] investigated the boiling heat transfer coefficient of R‐410A in smooth/micro‐fin tubes within the conditions: the saturation temperature ranged from -15 to 5°C, the mass fluxes of 70–211 kgm2/s and the heat fluxes of 5–15 kW/m2. In this study, the authors reported that the heat transfer coefficients increased with the increasing of heat flux and mass flux. In addition, the average heat transfer coefficients of micro‐fin tubes were 80–150% and 10–60% higher than those of smooth tubes for the outside diameter (OD) of 9.52 and 7.0 mm, respectively. Kim et al. [2] demonstrated the boiling heat transfer of R‐410A in horizontal copper tubes. The results were carried out in 9.52 mm OD tube with following conditions: the saturation temperature of 15°C, the heat flux of 11kW/m2 and the mass flow of 30–60 kg/h. This study also reported that the average evaporation heat transfer coefficients of micro‐fin tubes were higher than those of the smooth tubes for both refrigerants, R22 and R‐410A. In the other research, Wellsandt et al. [3] reported the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R410A and R407C during evaporation inside horizontal herringbone‐micro‐fin tubes. The authors found that, at moderate vapour quality regime, the effect of mass flux on the heat transfer coefficient was insignificant while a strong influence was observed when the vapour quality was over 60%. Inside smooth tube, the heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and flow pattern of CO2, R410A and R22 were investigated by Park et al. [4]. The results were reported for 6.1 mm inner diameter tube within the saturation temperature of -15 and -30°C, the mass flux of 100–400 kgm2/s, the heat flux of 5–15 kW/m2 and the vapour quality ranged from 0.1 to 0.8. In this study, the heat transfer coefficients of R‐410A are affected by the change of heat flux, mass flux and quality. The nucleate and convective boiling heat transfer mechanisms were consequently activated.
For high evaporation temperature application such as industrial heat pump systems, Padovan et al. [5] presented the experimental results of boiling heat transfer of R134a and R410A in horizontal micro‐fin tube at high saturation temperature. The wide range of testing conditions that were investigated include: the mass flux from 80 to 600 kgm2/s, the heat flux from 14 to 83.5 kW/m2, the vapour quality from 0.1 to 0.99 and covered the saturation temperature of 30 and 40°C. The dominance of convective boiling mechanism on heat transfer coefficient was observed at the saturation temperature of 30°C. Moreover, the effect of nucleate boiling mechanism was more distinct when the saturation temperature raised. On the other side, the heat transfer coefficient of R410A in micro‐fin tube is higher than that in plain tube. This result agreed well with the others in previous studies.
In addition, beside the researches on single channel, various studies on heat transfer and pressure drop of R410A in multi‐port tube have been published. Cavallini et al. [6] reported the frictional pressure gradient of R236ea, R134a and R410A inside multi‐port mini‐channels with the hydraulic diameter of 1.4 mm. The experimental results covered a wide range of reduced pressure from 0.1 to 0.5, and the mass flux ranged from 200 to 1400 kgm2/s. The study showed that the existing frictional pressure drop correlations were unable to predict the data of R410A. Jatuporn et al. [7] investigated the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R410A in horizontal aluminium multi‐port mini‐channel having the hydraulic diameter of 3.48 mm. The strong effects of mass flux, heat flux and saturation temperature on heat transfer coefficient were observed while only mass flux and saturation temperature affected on pressure drop. Recently, Chien et al. [8] also reported the heat transfer and pressure drop of R410A in multi‐port mini‐channels with smaller hydraulic diameters, 1.14 and 1.16 mm. The data were conducted with the mass fluxes of 50–150 kgm2/s, the heat fluxes of 3 and 6 kW/m2 and the saturation temperature of 6°C. This study reported that only heat flux affected on heat transfer coefficient of R410A while only mass flux affected on pressure drop. A heat transfer coefficient correlation was also developed in this study.
However, due to the variation in tube geometry and diameter, the heat transfer characteristics and pressure drop of R410A during evaporation process should be experimentally validated to optimise the design of heat exchangers. In order to bring out an overview to the reader, this chapter investigates the experimental results with the wide range of operating conditions as well as the tube diameters, which have been evaluated in our lab in the past [9–11] and recently. The influence of mass flux, heat flux and channel diameter on the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop was well reported. In addition, the comparison between the experimental results and several existing pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient correlations was carried out. Finally, the development of correlations of pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient correlations for heat exchanger with mini‐channel design was demonstrated in this study.
2. Experimental facilities and data reduction
2.1. Experimental model
Figure 1(a) and (b) depicts the schematic diagram of the experimental apparatus for copper tube and stainless tube, respectively. In general, both facilities mainly consist of a refrigerant loop, the water loops and the data acquisition system. The refrigerant loop included the receiver tank, the sub‐cool unit, the Coriolis mass flow meter, the condense unit and test sections. In boiling mode, the refrigerant was delivered clockwise by the gear pump. The mass flow rate could be controlled by changing the pump speed and was measured by the flow meter. The quality of flow was adjusted in pre‐heater to the desired value before entering the test section. The test sections could be heated by a water loop or an electric transformer as shown in the figure. When using the water loop, the heat capacity could be varied by mastering the mass flow rate or temperature of inlet water. On the other hand, when using the transformer, the power could be set by controlling the input voltage. The refrigerant was then evaporated in the test section. The vapour at the outlet of test section was condensed by a condenser unit and accumulated into the receiver. The experimental apparatus was well insulated with rubber and foam to minimise the effect of surround environment temperature.
The detail of test sections for copper tube was depicted in Figure 2(a). The test tubes were made from copper with the inner diameters of 6.61 and 7.49 mm. The effective length was 1200 mm. As shown in the figure, the test sections were divided into four separated sub‐sections with a length of 300 mm. Along the test section, the T‐type thermocouples were attached, each 150 mm of length, at three positions: top, middle and bottom. At the adiabatic pipes between two consecutive sub‐sections, thermocouples and pressure transducers were set up to measure the local pressure drop. Two sight glasses were installed at the beginning and end of test sections to visualise the flow pattern.
Figure 2(b) describes the detail setup of test section using the stainless tube. The tubes have a diameter of 1.5 and 3.0 mm with a length of 1500 and 3000 mm, respectively. The T‐type thermocouples were also attached at the top, middle and bottom points, each 100 mm, along the test section from the inlet. Two pressure transmitters were located at the inlet and outlet of the test section. To enhance the accuracy of pressure drop value, a differential pressure transducer was also set up.
The physical properties of the refrigerant were obtained from REFPROP 8 [12]. The temperature, pressure and mass flow rate data were recorded using the data acquisition.
2.2. Data reduction
The data were collected using a data acquisition and were analysed in real time by the data reduction program. All the information about test conditions and data during the operation were displayed on the monitor.
2.2.1. Heat transfer coefficient
In the case of using water heating loop, the heat capacity of each sub‐section
where
The local heat transfer coefficient inside the channel can be evaluated as the ratio of the heat flux to saturation minus the inside wall temperature:
At the inlet of test section, the saturation temperatures were determined by the local measured pressures. At the outlet of each sub‐section, the saturation temperatures were then calculated by subtracting the inlet temperature to the one raised by pressure drop. In the current study, the difference of temperature between the saturated refrigerant and inside wall was very high. In addition, the temperature drop raised by the pressure drop was kind of small. Therefore, the saturation temperature between the inlet and outlet of test section could be calculated as the linear function of two known values. The temperature of inside tube wall,
The vapour quality,
In some cases, since the refrigerant flow could not be saturated completely before entering the test section, the sub‐cooled length was determined as follows:
2.2.2. Pressure drop
The total pressure drop of two‐phase fluid in general is calculated by the sum of the static head Δ
Since the horizontal tube was used in this study, the pressure head can be neglected. The saturated refrigerant from liquid is evaporated linearly with the test distance to vapour‐liquid mixture at the vapour quality
For horizontal tube, void fraction
3. Result and discussions
3.1. Pressure drop
Figure 3 illustrates the significant effect of mass flux and vapour quality on pressure drop gradient of copper tube with the inner diameters of 6.61 and 7.49 mm. The pressure drops are higher with the higher mass flux. The reason can be explained in that, in horizontal tube, the pressure drop is mainly contributed by the frictional and momentum pressure components. When the mass flux increases, the flow velocity increases, which raises both of two components. This effect of mass flux on the two‐phase pressure drop was well observed in various studies including the single‐mini/conventional‐channel and multi‐port tubes [4, 8, 15–19].
In addition, the pressure drop gradient also increases with the increase of mass quality. When the dry out occurred, the reduction in frictional pressure drop was observed. Moreover, the effect of heat flux on pressure drop is unclear.
The effects of tube diameter are depicted in Figure 4. The pressure drops of gradient increases when the tube diameter decreases. The wall shear stress that raises higher in smaller tube is believed to be the reason for this phenomenon.
In this study, the experimental data are validated by comparing with some well‐known frictional pressure drop correlations [20–23], as shown in Figure 5. Among them, a correlation proposed by Gronnerud [20] shows the best prediction with a mean deviation of 17.24%. His correlation determined the dependence of frictional pressure drop on the Froude number and could be applied to a wide range of mass quality from 0 to 1. Both of two correlations proposed by Chisholm [21] and Muller and Heck [23] have mean deviations of above 30%. The correlation proposed by Chisholm [21] was based on the empirical method and the one proposed by Muller and Heck [23] expressed the interpolation between the liquid and vapour flow. The correlation proposed by Friedel [22] used a wide range of data and was commended for the ratio of liquid/vapour, which is less than 1000.
In order to improve the prediction of pressure drop of R410A in horizontal tube as well as simplify the calculation, a new frictional pressure drop is developed. The general form is developed based on the ideal of Lockhart‐Martinelli [24]. The frictional pressure drop is comprised of frictional pressure drop of liquid‐phase adjusted by two‐phase multiplier. The equation can be determined as follows:
where the frictional pressure drop of liquid phase is defined as follows:
and
From that, a regression program is developed using the experimental data as the input variable. The final factor is calculated and expressed as follows:
The proposed frictional pressure drop correlation shows a good prediction with the mean deviation of 9.29% and the average deviation of -0.69%. The comparison between the experimental data and predicting model is shown in Figure 6.
3.2. Heat transfer coefficient
Figure 7(a) and (b) illustrates the effect of mass flux on the heat transfer coefficient of R410A in 1.5 and 6.61 mm inner diameter, respectively. In low quality regime, the effect of mass flux in 1.5 mm tube, called mini‐channel, is insignificant while the inverse trend of mass flux effect is shown in 6.61 mm tube, called conventional channel. It indicates that the nucleate boiling is predominant in mini‐channel. The similar results are reported in other studies [10, 25–28]. The different contribution of nucleate boiling to the heat transfer coefficient of refrigerant between mini‐channel and conventional channel, therefore, should be validated before applying the heat transfer model of macro‐scale to mini‐scale channel and vice versa. At higher quality regime, due to the active force of convective boiling, the effect of mass flux on heat transfer coefficient is clear. The higher mass flux raises the higher heat transfer coefficient.
The strong effect of heat flux on the heat transfer coefficient is shown in Figure 8. The trend depicts that the heat transfer coefficient of R‐410A was higher with the increase in heat flux and vapour quality. The similar phenomenon was also observed in the studies of Park et al. [4] and Mastrullo et al. [29]. That means the convective boiling mechanism was active on the heat transfer mechanism of R‐410A in mini‐channel.
Figure 9 shows the effect of tube diameter on the heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient of R410A was higher with smaller tube diameter. It can be explained that the heat transfer surface area per unit volume increases when the diameter decreases at the same operating conditions, therefore, increase the heat transfer coefficient.
In order to validate the experimental heat transfer coefficient of R410A in both mini‐ and macro‐scale channel, Chien et al. [11] compared the data with various heat transfer coefficient correlations [26, 30–34] include both of the correlations developed for mini‐scale channel and the ones developed for macro‐scale channel. The data bank consists of 452 data points including 61 data with

In general, the boiling heat transfer coefficient mainly consists of two mechanisms: the nucleate boiling and the forced convective boiling mechanism. Hence, the form proposed by Chen [37] is widely accepted and is used in this study to develop the new correlation. This form is based on the superposition model with the contribution of two heat transfer mechanisms. The formula is defined as:
In the above equation, the enhancement of convective boiling due to the increase of flow velocity when the vapour quality increases was counted by the enhanced factor
Due to the higher velocities and the development of the thinner film layers, the heat transfer coefficients of two‐phase flow are normally higher than those of single phase. For that reason, the enhancement factor
Using the regression method, the final form of enhancement factor
Copper [39] developed the heat transfer correlation for nucleate boiling with the large data bank and showed a good prediction. Hence, in the remaining term, the nucleate boiling and the Copper correlation can be used to determine the pool boiling heat transfer. The equation is defined as follows:
Then, the suppression factor
where the confinement number is defined as follows:
The proposed heat transfer coefficient correlation archives the mean deviation of 20.66 and 21.06% for macro‐scale‐ and mini‐scale channel, respectively. The detail comparison of the proposed correlation and the experimental data is shown in Figure 12. Figure 13 summarises the overall comparison of existing heat transfer coefficient correlation and the proposed one with the present data of R410A. Among the existing correlations, the one proposed by Gungor‐Winterton [31] showed the best prediction for the macro‐channel with the mean deviation of 25% while this correlation failed to predict the heat transfer coefficient of mini‐channel. The heat transfer coefficient correlation proposed by Tran et al. [33] predicted the experimental data with the mean deviation of around 30% for both macro‐ and mini‐channel.
4. Conclusions
The boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop characteristics of R410A in horizontal tube with the inner diameter of 1.5, 3.0, 6.61 and 7.49 mm were demonstrated in this chapter. The data of heat fluxes ranging from 10 to 40 kW/m2, mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 600 kgm2/s, the vapour quality up to 1.0 and the saturation temperatures of 5–15°C. The results can be summarised as follows:
The pressure drop of R410A is strongly affected by the mass flux, vapour quality and the inner tube diameter but the heat flux.
The boiling heat transfer coefficient of R410A increased with the increase in mass flux, heat flux and the decreasing of inner tube diameter. However, in mini‐channel, the effect of mass flux is only observed at the moderate quality regime, which indicates the predominance of nucleate boiling mechanism in mini‐channel.
The experimental pressure drop data were validated with some well‐known correlations. Among them, the one developed by Gronnerud [20] showed the best prediction. A modified frictional pressure drop was proposed with the mean deviation of 9.29% versus the present data.
The two‐phase boiling heat transfer coefficient data were also compared with various general correlations. A new heat transfer coefficient correlation was also proposed that archived the good deviation versus the experimental data.
