The results concern investigations of the mean and local pressure drop in single minichannels. The results of experimental investigations were compared with the calculations according to the correlations proposed by other authors. A pressure drop during the condensation of refrigerants is described in a satisfactory manner with Friedel and Garimella correlations. On the basis of the experimental investigations, the authors proposed their own correlation for calculation of local pressure drop during condensation in single minichannels.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Pressure drop during condensation of refrigerants in pipe minichannels}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/94306/PDF/04_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10173-012-0004-1}, keywords={Compact condenser, Condensation in minichannels, Pressure drop during flow in condensation}, }
