Experimental investigation of flow boiling heat transfer and pressure drops characteristic of R1234ze(E), R600a, and a mixture of R1234ze(E)/R32 in a horizontal smooth tube

The saturated flow boiling heat transfer coefficients and frictional pressure drops characteristics of R1234ze(E), R600a, and L-41b (R1234ze(E)/R32 (27/73 mass %)) inside an 8 mm inner diameter horizontal tube were investigated. The experiment was carried out at the saturation temperature of 20°C wi...
