... capacity of the heat pump. In order to improve the problem of uneven frost along the airflow direction in the evaporator, an experimental study is conducted on the frosting and heat transfer performance of three rows of variable pitch (VP) finned coils in different fin pitch combinations under low ambient...

...; published online September 11, 2013. Assoc. Editor: Roy E. Hogan. 08 07 2012 14 03 2013 Loop heat pipes (LHP) are heat transfer devices which use evaporation and condensation of working fluid to transfer heat and use capillary forces to provide fluid circulation in a closed loop. One...

.... Assoc. Editor: Ali Ebadian. 22 01 2012 23 10 2012 An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of tube row on surface wetting and heat transfer of a horizontal-tube, falling-film evaporator. Two types of the evaporator tubes were used for comparison: plain copper...
