Flow-pattern-based heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for condensing refrigerants in smooth tubes

The phase-out of ozone-depleting refrigerants, such as R-12 and R-22, according to the Montreal Protocol of 1987, has provided the incentive to increase the thermal efficiency of current heating and refrigeration systems. The purpose of this study was to increase the accuracy of the predictions of b...
