Two-phase frictional pressure drop with pure refrigerants in vertical mini/micro-channels

Environmental concerns have urged a search for eco-friendly refrigerants in the refrigeration industry to overcome ozone depletion and global warming problems. Therefore, current research emphasizes frictional pressure drop during flow boiling of environment-friendly refrigerants (GWP<150), isobu...
