Two-Phase Flow in Refrigeration Systems

This book covers advanced mass and heat transfer and vapor compression refrigeration systems and shows how the performance of an automotive air-conditioning system is affected by two-phase flow and oil concentration.

Two-Phase Flow in Refrigeration Systems presents recent developments from the authors' extensive research programs on two-phase flow in refrigeration systems. This book covers advanced mass and heat transfer and vapor compression refrigeration systems and shows how the performance of an automotive air-conditioning system is affected through results obtained experimentally and theoretically, specifically with consideration of two-phase flow and oil concentration. The book is ideal for university postgraduate students as a textbook, researchers and professors as an academic reference book, and by engineers and designers as handbook.

Illustrates criticality of two-phase flow and oil concentration of refrigeration systems to performance of refrigeration systems Presents new understanding of two-phase flow aimed at engineers designing efficient refrigeration systems Provides experimentally and theoretically derived results on performance of automotive air-conditioning systems Includes abundant field and test data from commercial-scale refrigeration components Features 125 illustrations
