Abstract

The nucleate pool boiling heat transfer data on a smooth flat surface were measured for three binary mixtures of HC600a/HFC134a, HC600a/HC290, and HC600a/HFC23. Much effort was made to investigate the influence of the boiling range on the pool-boiling heat transfer performance. From the experimental results, the HC600a/HFC23 mixture with a wide boiling range showed lower heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) than the mixture with a narrow boiling range such as HC600a/HFC134a and HC600a/HC290 systems. The measured data were also compared with the results predicted by five well-known correlations. It can be found that the average deviation is less than 25% for mixtures with narrow boiling ranges, but a larger deviation for mixtures with wide boiling ranges.
