An Experimental Investigation to Determine the Effect of Tube Material on the Tubeside Heat Transfer Performance of the Enhanced 1EHT Three Dimensional Heat Transfer Tube

Condensation heat transfer characteristics were experimentally investigated over a wide range of operating conditions in order to determine the heat transfer performance inside horizontal, smooth and enhanced heat transfer tubes; using R410A in tubes produced of copper and stainless steel.
