Condensation and Evaporation Characteristics of Flows Inside Three Dimensional Vipertex Enhanced Heat Transfer Tubes

Results are presented here from an experimental investigation of condensation and evaporation heat transfer that compares the performance of three dimensional (3-D) enhanced heat transfer tubes to the performance of a smooth surface tube. The equivalent outer diameter of all the tubes was 12.7 mm wi...
