Description

Thermodynamic generalizations based on reduced pressures proposed in the 1960s are reviewed and updated to reflect the current state of the art. The application of the method is illustrated by analytical and numerical examples, and an assessment is made of its value in heat exchanger design practice with special emphasis on two-phase forced-convection refrigeration cycle applications. It is shown that this thermodynamic approach provides the designer with an additional tool that is simple, effective, and above all. more reliable, particularly in evaporator and condenser design practice, than current conventional semiempirical correlations.
