Electrohydrodynamic enhancement of in-tube convective condensation heat transfer
Abstract
An experimental investigation of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) augmentation of heat transfer for in-tube condensation of flowing refrigerant HFC-134a has been performed in a horizontal, single-pass, counter-current heat exchanger with a rod electrode placed in the centre of the tube. The effects of varying the mass flux (55kg/m2s⩽G⩽263kg/m2s), inlet quality (0.2⩽xin⩽0.83) and the level of applied voltage (0kV⩽V⩽8kV) are examined. The heat transfer …
