The data are then compared to the component R32. Both the condensation HTC and pressure drop of R1123/R32 (40/60 mass%) are somewhat lower than those of R32. Similarly, the pressure drop of R1123/R32 during the evaporation process at 10 °C is somewhat lower than that of R32. However, the evaporation HTC is comparable to that of R32. The lower surface tension of R1123/R32 can enhance the nucleate boiling and compensate the heat transfer degradation due to the volatility difference., Science and Technology for the Built Environment, 25(10), pp. 1281-1291; 2019}, pages = {1281--1291}, title = {Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop of R1123/R32 (40/60 mass%) Flow in Horizontal Microfin Tubes during Condensation and Evaporation}, volume = {25}, year = {2019} }
