Condensation Heat-Transfer of a Nonazeotropic Binary Mixture on a Horizontal Tube
Natural convection condensation heat transfer of a binary HFC152a-HCFC22 mixture on the outside of a horizontal tube was investigated experimentally and analytically. A new model is advanced in which the interface temperature between the liquid and vapor phases is not constant in the flow direction. A non-similarity solution for the flow, temperature and concentration fields on the outside of a smooth horizontal tube is obtained. The calculated results agree well with the experimental results.
