In the present work, the pressure drop of water flowing through the straight and helical minichannel tubes was experimentally studied. The test sections was made from the stainless tube with an internal diameter of 1.75 mm and 70 cm long. The coil diameters were 34 48 and 61 mm. The single-phase pressure drop is experimentally determined based on the direct heating operation. The experiments have been carried out by varying the water flow rates and supplying heat fluxes.
The Reynolds numbers were performed covering transition to turbulent flow regimes, while the supplying heat fluxes were approximately 30 - 70 kW/m2. The result illustrates that more enhanced pressure drop increase for tubes with greater curvature ratio. The supply heat fluxes have no significant effect on the pressure drop. Furthermore, from the comparison of the experimental results with the selected correlations Moody [1], Churchill [2], Round [3] and Haaland [4], we found that all of correlation failed to predict.
