Abstract: This paper presents experimental results on boiling heat transfer of R134a in a compact plate fin heat exchanger. The exchanger is made of aluminum and has high density offset fins (30 fins/in.). Such heat exchangers are ...

Abstract: The prediction of mixture condensation is still complex due to the coupled heat and mass transfer and insufficient data of thermophysical mixture properties. This article analyzes the impact of various heat and mass transfer ...

Abstract: Falling film evaporation is widely used in solar desalination systems. Fouling is an important problem to be addressed in many applications involving heat transfer including processes involving the utilization of solar ...
