The condensation heat transfer for R134a in two kinds of in-tube three-dimensional (3-D) microfin tubes with different geometries is investigated experimentally.In the range of experimental conditions,six distinguishable flow patterns (annular flow,semi-annular flow,stratified flow,wavy flow,slug flow and plug flow) are recorded by a video camera.The obtained results show that the flow regime transition criterion between annular flow and stratified-wavy flow decreases from Fr equal to 7 to Fr equal to 2 in the Soliman flow regime map.In stratified-wavy flow regime,the average heat transfer coefficients h of the two kinds of in-tube 3-D microfin tubes increase as mass flux increases and the number of microfins in 3-D microfin tube is not the controlling factor of condensation heat transfer performance.The regressed condensation heat transfer correlation from the experimental data of stratified-wavy flow regime is obtained.The disparity of the experimental data is within the limits of ±22%.Combined with the criteria of flow pattern transitions,the correlations can be used for the design of condenser of 3-D microfin tubes.展开更多
