Based on the steady state distributed parameters model of the condensers which was put forward in the previous related reference. The effect of different non-uniform air distribution,different flow rate of the refrigerant,different refrigerant layout and different rows on the performance of the condensers are studied and some useful results are obtained. All the non-uniform air distribution make the performance of the condensers worse. The non-uniform degree can be measured by the non-uniform factor. When the non-uniform factor increase,the performance of the condensers become worse. All these research results can be applied to predict the influence on the performance of condensers when the inlet air distribution is non-uniform.
Based on the ε-NTU method,numerically simulates the refrigerant circuitry of the condensers with 2 to 4 rows of tubing and analyses the characteristics of the heat transfer and flow.The research results show that the counter-flow condensers have a better performance than that of other arrangements in single-circuit condensers,and that branch flow should be adopted in multi-rows condensers to decrease the pressure drop and increase the heat transfer capacity,and that the influence of gravity force can not be ignored,and that there must be an optimum refrigerant mass flow which can make the condenser perform best when the air velocity is constant while there must be an optimum air flow which can make the condenser perform best when the refrigerant mass flow is constant.

Based on the e_c-BF, a steady state distributed parameters model is put forward in the numerical simulation of refrigerant circuitry in evaporators in this paper. Applying this model, the heat transfers and flow characteristics of two-rows counter-flow evaporators which used the refrigerant replacement of R22 (R407C, R410A, R134A) are studied. When the frontal velocity is constant, with the refrigerant mass velocity increasing, the total capacity, sensible capacity , and the latent capacity of all evaporators which apply different refrigerants increase, the pressure drop in tubes decrease. When the refrigerant mass velocity is constant, with the frontal velocity increasing, the total capacity, sensible capacity of all evaporators which apply different refrigerants increase and the latent capacity, pressure drop in tubes decrease. Among the characteristic comparison of four refrigerants evaporators, the heat transfer rate of R134A evaporators is better than the other refrigerants evaporators, but its pressure drop is the highest. The heat transfer rate of R410A evaporators is better than R22 evaporator, but the evaporate pressure much higher than that of R22; both of the two refrigerant replacement are not the perfect replacements. The heat transfer rate of R407C evaporators is 3%~5% higher than R22 evaporators and the pressure drop of R407C evaporators is 5%~10% lower than R22. R407C is the ideal refrigerant replacement of R22.

The research status and development of refrigerant circuitry in fin-and-tube heat exchangers is presented in this paper.The flow characteristics of refrigerant in the tube is analyzed.The suggestions that research in refrigerant circuitry should be paid attention to is put forward.
A three-dimensional, staggered grid, full-implicit consistent control-volume numerical model was presented for the analysis of turbulence fluid flow and heat transfer in the shell side of shell-and-tube heat exchanger.The numerical model used the distributed resistance method along with the concept of volumetric porosities, surface permeabilities to account for the presence of tubes in the heat exchangers. A modified k-e model was used to account for the effects of tubes on turbulence generation and dissipation. Shell and baffle walls were modeled by using the wall function approach. The three-dimensional model was validated by comparison of the computed pressure drop distribution with experiment data obtained on an E shell type heat exchanger model and the previous research results. Good agreement between the simulation results and experimental data is obtained. It showed that the three-dimensional numerical model could more effectively simulate the flow characteristics in the shell-side of heat exchanger than the previous numerical simulation models.
Three-dimensional numerical simulation was performed for the fluid flow and heat transfer in the shell side of shell-and-tube heat exchangers with helical baffles on the basis of porous medium and distributed resistance assumptions. The improved κ-ε turbulence model in conjunction with wall function and the step-wise approximation technique were adopted. It is found that for the same inner diameter and shell-side flow rate the pressure drop in the shell with helical baffles is appreciably lower than those of shell with vertical baffles, and with the increase of the helical angle, the pressure drop tends downwards. Compared with the test data obtained for small flow rate, the numerical results coincide satisfactorily with an average deviation below 14% and the maximum deviation of 18%.
The optimal design for multi-stream plate-fin heat exchanger with differential model was investigated. An effective method for the passage arrangement was presented, together with the corresponding calculation program. With this program, many conditions with different initial lengths and slice thicknesses were calculated. The calculation results show that the initial length almost has no effect on the final divergent length, but the slice thickness has great influence on the final result. A numerical example shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
The effect of tube juncture on heat loss in viscous oil extraction is numerically investigated. On the basis of calculation, a method is presented that proposes how to use a simple configuration of tube juncture to replace the complex one in the process of heat loss calculation in viscous oil extraction, and is called as 1/3 equivalence method. The method has been applied to the practical steam inject tube's heat loss calculation in viscous oil extraction, and the result shows its feasibility in practical application.
A three-dimensional, staggered grid, full-implicit consistent control-volume numerical model was presented for the analysis of turbulent fluid flow in shell side of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The numerical model used the distributed resistance method along with the concept of volumetric porosities, anisotropic surface permeabilities to account for the presence of tubes in the heat exchangers. A modified k-e model was applied and the near wall region was modeled using the wall function approach. The three-dimensional model was validated by comparison with the computed pressure drop distribution of the experimental data obtained from an TEMA-E shell type heat exchanger model. The maximum error between experimental results and numerical simulation results is about 20%. The anisotropic porosities model can simulate the flow characteristics in the shell-side of heat exchangers more effectively than the existing isotropic porosities model.
Within the Reynolds number range from 5000 to 40000, experiments were performed by using cross-ribs (three angles: 45, 60, 75 degrees; two heights: 4 mm, 5 mm) roughened ducts to determine the effect of building repeated turbulators in the inner surface of rectangular duct on forced convection and fluid friction. The experimental results show that for the cross rib arrangements, the rib height and cross angle have positive effect on heat transfer; the larger the cross angles and the rib height, the higher the heat transfer coefficients. At the meantime, the friction factor also increases significantly. Compared with the parallel rib configuration, the cross-rib arrangement can enhance heat transfer with greater penalty in pressure drop.
