Abstract
The evaporative heat transfer characteristics of carbon dioxide in an 8.0 mm ID smooth stainless steel tube were measured. Data were collected in a concentric tube heat exchanger heated by water in the annulus with carbon dioxide in the central tube. Data have been collected over a range of temperature (5oC to 25oC), mass flux (250 kg/m2s to 1000 kg/m2s) and heat flux (3 kW/m2 to 15 kW/m2). A Wilson Plot technique was used to correlate the in-tube local heat transfer coefficient of carbon dioxide. Results have been interpreted by relating the heat transfer coefficient to quality at various evaporation temperatures and various mass fluxes.
