Condensation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures (NARMs) of HCFC22 and CFC114 inside horizontal smooth and micro-fin tubes are experimentally investigated. The local Nusselt number for both tubes based on the temperature difference between bulk refrigerant and tube wall is compared. Data for the micro-fin tube are about 50% higher than those for the smooth tube in both cases of pure refrigerants and NARMs. In case of NARMs, however, the decrease of Nesselt number due to vapor mass transfer resistance is observed for the micro-fin tube as well as for the smooth tube. By assuming that heat transfer characteristics of the condensate of NARMs are similar to those for pure refrigerants, the vapor mass transfer coefficient of NARMs is evaluated. Comparison of frictional pressure drop for both tubes is also performed in the Lockharte-Martinelli relation. Data for the micro-fin tube are higer than those for the smooth tube. The maximum increase of the frictional pressure drop is about 30%.
