The specific objectives of the investigation are as follows:
- Generate experimental comparisons of heat transfer rates and pressure drops for selected refrigerants in a flat plate, single-channel, and micro-scale condenser.
- Develop correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop coefficients using the experimental data obtained in this study together with the data available in the open literature, and present it in a useful form for designers and for publication in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.
- Use two different refrigerants that are commercially available as the working fluid to conduct experiments.
- Determine whether there is any deviation in heat transfer and pressure drop trends compared to macro-scale, conventional heat exchangers, and if there is, quantify such deviation accordingly.
