Steam condensation in flattened-tube air-cooled condensers
… of the most-common condenser design - the flattened-tube air-cooled condenser. This thesis provides the experimental results and analysis to address this deficiency. The experiments contained herein provide visualization along with measurement of void fraction, pressure drop, capacity and …

Heat transfer and visualization in large flattened-tube condensers with variable inclination
… of steam in a large, inclined, finned tube is presented. This study extends previous work in the field on inclined, convective condensation in small, round tubes to large, non-circular tubes with low inlet mass flux of vapor. The steel condenser tube in this study was designed for use …

Effect of inclination on pressure drop and flow regimes in large flattened-tube steam condensers
… regime during condensation of steam in a large flattened tube used in air-cooled condensers (ACC) for power plants. Steam with mass flux of about 7 kg m-2 s-1 was condensed inside a 10.7 m long, flattened test tube with inclination angle varied from horizontal up to 70o. The original full-sized …

Refrigerant charge reduction in small commercial refrigeration systems
… penalizing system performance significantly, the tubes of the round-tube finless condenser were flattened. Charge optimization and charge distribution experiments were again conducted for the system with a flattened-tube condenser. Experimental results show good match with the model prediction.
