摘要
A state of the art review of two-phase void fraction models in smooth horizontal tubes is provided and a probabilistic two-phase flow regime map void fraction model is developed for refrigerants under condensation, adiabatic, and evaporation conditions in smooth, horizontal tubes. Time fraction information from a generalized probabilistic two-phase flow map is used to provide a physically based weighting of void fraction models for different flow regimes. The present model and void fraction models in the literature are compared to data from multiple sources including R 11, R 12, R134a, R22, R410A refrigerants, 4.26-9.58 turn diameter tubes, mass fluxes from 70 to 900 kg/m(2) s, and a full quality range. The present model has a mean absolute deviation of 3.5% when compared to the collected database. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
