V. FLOW PATTERN MAP FOR CONDENSATIONIN HORIZONTAL TUBESThe two-phase flow pattern map forcondensation proposed by El Hajal, Thome and Cavallini[6] is a slightly modified version of Kattan, Thome andFavrat [5] map for evaporation and adiabatic flows insmall diameter horizontal tubes. Thome and El Hajalhave simplified implementation of that map by bringing avoid fraction equation into the method to eliminate itsiterative solution scheme.The five principal flow patterns encounteredduring condensation inside horizontal tubes are: Annular flow (often referred to as shearedcontrolledregime) (A), Intermittent flow (heat transfer modeled likeannular flow), (I), Mist flow (annular flow heat transfer modelassumed for this regime) (MF) Stratified-wavy flow (SW), Stratified flow(S),Intermittent flow refers to both the plug and slugflow regimes (it is essentially a stratified-wavy flowpattern with large amplitude waves that wash the top ofthe tube). Also, stratified-wavy flow is often referred to inthe literature as simply wavy flow.A. FLOW PATTERN MAP OF THOME AND ELHAJAL (2003)This model can be easily applied and gives thevoid fraction as a function of total mass flux. Hence itmakes sense to use the same void fraction model in boththe flow pattern map and the flow boiling heat transfermodel for which the Rouhani-Axelson [8] model is abetter choice as a general method.The sectional area of the tube A and after calculating ε,the values and are directly determined by:A 1 Ald2D,A A vd 2DThe stratified angle can be calculated from anexpression evaluated in terms of void fraction proposedby Biberg [9] 2 P sinstratD 2 The transition boundary curve between Stratifiedflows to Stratified-wavy flow is:(6) 2 2226.2 A vd A vdG v l vstrat 2 3x 1 x 13 l g cos The transition boundary curve between Stratifiedflows to Intermittent/Annular flow is: 3 16A vd g D lv 2 220.5 x 1 2ld1Gwavy 2F2We 1 x 225 ldFr 0.51cos 50(7) F 1 (8) The transition boundary curve between Annularflows to Mist flow is:0.5 2 7680A vd g D v l WeGmist 2 2xFrphl (9) The transition boundary curve between Annularflows to Intermittent flow is:11 1.75 17 1 0.875 vvX IA 0.341 ll V. SIMULATION OF MATHEMATICALMODEL(10)Mathematical models are simulated by the use ofthe software tool MathCAD.The solution of thedeterministic mathematical models of the flow patternand heat transfer coefficients is complex. The appliednumerical simulation model for each variable isdiscretized. The input data and initial conditions in thedeterministic mathematical model clearly define the valueof flow pattern and heat transfer coefficient i.e. is theoutput of the model.The initial condition and values for the simulation: Refrigerant: R134a Mass velocity: G 100 kg 2 ms Vapor quality ranged: x = 0 – 1 [ - ]128
