Abstract

In the present experimental study, condensation heat transfer coefficients between R404A and R152a flow in a horizontal smooth tube were compared. The outer and inner diameters of the tube were 9.52 mm and 7.55 mm, respectively, and the heated length was 1045 mm. The mass flux ranged from 150 to 400 $kg/m^{2}s$ and the test section were uniformly heated from 8 to 12. $kW/m^2$. The quality range was from 0.2 to 0.8 at the saturation temperature from 27.3 to $34^{\circ}C$. Experimental condensation heat transfer coefficients increased as the quality and mass flux increased. Modified Dobson and Chato correlation reduced the mean deviation of 5.1% for R404A and 9.4% for R152a than the original correlation$^{(2)}$.
