Heat pump and refrigeration systems consume a large amount of energy annually around
the world. Heat exchanger is an important component of heat pump and refrigeration …

Flow maldistribution could reduce the heat transfer capability of LNG spiral-wound heat
exchangers (SWHEs). However, there remains a lack of clarity on the flow distribution …

The flow distribution in manifolds is highly dependent on inlet pressure, configuration, and
total inlet flow to the manifold. The flow from a manifold has many applications and in …

Most production technologies require a uniform flow path of liquid from pressure distribution
pipelines. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to introduce polymer additives into the liquid …

Maldistribution of fluid among the ports reduces the heat capacity of a microchannel heat
exchanger. It is essential to understand the maldistribution mechanism to optimize the …

Flow maldistribution on the shell side of LNG spiral-wound heat exchangers (SWHEs) can
deteriorate their performance, especially in the presence of sloshing motions. Nevertheless …

This paper presents a method to quantify two-phase refrigerant flow distribution in brazed
plate heat exchangers (BPHEs) from infrared images. In this method, the two-phase length …

A literature survey revealed that no prior investigation has been conducted on the horizontal
distribution of a two-phase refrigerant in mini-channel tubes, which may be of importance for …

The two-phase distribution has always been one of the research focuses of microchannel
heat exchangers, because the maldistribution could seriously affect the heat transfer …

Refrigerant R-410A distribution in a two pass evaporator with intermediate header was
investigated. The number of tubes was 10 for the first pass and 12 for the second pass. Tests …
