【 摘 要 】

Two-phase heat transfer involving two immiscible systems is gaining importance in petrochemical and allied industries. Varying compositions of diesel and water were experimentally studied in a 1:2 shell and tube heat exchanger. The data on pure water and diesel were fitted to an equation of the form. h1φ = a NmRe.The two-phase multiplier, Φ L, was related to the Lockhart Martinelli (L-M) parameter, χtt², using the two-phase data and a correlation Φ L = b+c(χtt²)+d/(χtt²)² was established. The two-phase heat transfer coefficient was calculated based on the coefficients 'a' and 'm' for pure diesel and pure water along with ФL and the L-M parameter. The calculated values of the two-phase heat transfer coefficient h2φ based on pure diesel and pure water suggest that diesel is a better reference fluid since the average error is much smaller compared to pure water as reference.
