Condensation of a zeotropic mixture, R-454C, and its individual components, R-1234yf and R-32, in microfin tubes

Creator:

Matty, Ethan P.

Abstract:

This work compares the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop for zeotropic refrigerant R-454C and its individual components, R-32 and R-1234yf, in horizontal microfin tubes. One microfin tube has a 4 mm outer diameter, 0.18 mm wall thickness, and a surface area ratio of 1.56. The second tube has a...

Abstract:

Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the reliance on nonrenewable energies such as coal and natural gas and provide 24 hour, renewable electricity. A CSP system consists of a large field of heliostats that concentrate the sunlight on a centralized receiver, in this receiver a working...
