Recognition of two-phase flow pattern inside evaporator tubes

The convective heat exchange mechanism in two-phase regime, can allow high exchange coefficients, as long as particular conditions are respected, in terms of vapor quality. In evaporator tubes this problem is particularly important as a deviation from the optimal flow conditions can drastically drop...
