BOILING OF NEW REFRIGERANTS - A STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW

The industrial conversion to new alternative refrigerants is now one o f the major driving forces in two-phase flow and boiling heat transfer research. A state-of-the-art review is presented here to quantify wha t has been done so far, assess the strengths and weaknesses in current boiling correlations and two-phase flow pattern maps, and identify fu ture research requirements and objectives.
