摘要
In this study, the flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of R-1234ze(E) and R-134a in plate heat exchangers with different Chevron angles are measured and analyzed as a function of the mass flux, saturation temperature, vapor quality, and heat flux. The effect of the mass flux on the heat transfer and pressure drop of R-1234ze(E) is substantial. The heat transfer coefficient of R-1234ze(E) for a Chevron angle of 60 is approximately 3.7 times higher than that for a Chevron angle of 30 at high vapor qualities owing to the intensified turbulent flow. Moreover, for a Chevron angle of 60, the average heat transfer coefficient of R-1234ze(E) is on average 4.7% higher than that of R-134a due to its higher equivalent Reynolds number. However, the average pressure drop of R-1234ze(E) is higher than that of R-134a owing to the lower vapor density of R-1234ze(E). Finally, the correlations for the heat transfer and pressure drop of R-1234ze(E) are developed in the plate heat exchangers with different Chevron angles. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
