Comparison of CHF measurements in horizontal and vertical tubes cooled with R-134a
Abstract
An experimental study of the critical heat flux (CHF) in horizontal and vertical tubes cooled with R-134a has been completed. The investigated ranges of flow parameters in R-134a were outlet pressures of 1.31, 1.67 and 2.03 MPa (8, 10 and 12 MPa in water-equivalent values), mass flux from 500 to 3000 kgm−2s−1 (700–4300 kgm−2s−1 in water-equivalent values), and critical quality from −0.1 to +0.9. The wide range of qualities was achieved using …
