Though heat exchanges vary significantly with each other in terms of geometies and configurations as well applications, from the modeling point of view, heat exchanger models can be largely classifed into four categories (a) lumped parameter models, zone model or moving boundary models, (c) distributed parameter models or finite volume models and tube-by-tube models. Lumped parameter models are the simplest ones. They treat the entire heat exchanger as a single control volume an use an overall UA value to compute the performance of heat exchangers. Thus, the Log-Mean Temperature Difference method or the effectiveness-NTU method can be used. Since these models do not account for phase change and the variation of local refrigerant properties. the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Lumped parameter models are typically suitable for cycle analysis because more often than not only qualitative analysis is required under this circumstance In boundary models, the heat exchanger is subdivided into several phase zones based on the location where moving phase transition occurs. The main idea of these models 1s that they make use of the significantly different physical behavior two-phase flow. superheated gas flow and subcooled liquid flow. Ideally, these models should among capable of handling four regions: supercritical region, superheated region, two phase region and subcooled region However, in the real case there are very likely only two regions or even one region existing in the heat exchanger. In these models, each is calculated using lumped parameter approach. An average heat transfer coefficient and region an average temperature difference can be evaluated for each region. Obviously. moving boundary model are more ccurate than lumped parameter models yet still having favorable computation speed distributed In some extent, moving boundary models are a compromise between lumped parameter models and et al. 2002: Gut and Pinto, 2003: Garcia-Cascales et al parameter models. In distributed parameter models Quad 2010), heat exchanger is divided into fixed number of segments and the manner that the heat exchanger 1s divided a is of change. Each segment can use the inlet refrigerant state to evalu all the thermophysical independent phase properties requued by the correlations calculate the heat transfer coefficients and friction factor Segments can be to calculated in sequence along the direction of refrigerant flow. In the simulation. there might be phase transition
