Introduction

The use of heat pumps, refrigeration systems increased by almost 10 % in terms of total and interest income. Among these systems, a large area is covered by small capacity applications, and a capillary tube is used as an expansion device. The capillary tube is a relatively low-cost and simple narrow tube with different cross-sections: straight, helical, and spiral. The coiled capillary tube is preferable compared to the straight capillary tube. Along with the economic system, an environmentally friendly system is the need of the day. CO2 refrigerant is a favorite among all-natural refrigerants. The sustainable solution for small capacity HVAC applications is the transcritical CO2 system and capillary tube [1-2]. Numerous numerical studies of a straight capillary tube with various refrigerants were carried out. Stoecker and Jones [3] designed the numerical model of the straight capillary tube. The numerical model of the straight capillary tube was designed using basic equations of conservation: mass, energy, momentum. Jabaraj et al. [4] mentioned the influencing parameter in the capillary tube. The study was carried out for R22 and M20 refrigerants. Among all the geometric parameters, the tube diameter and tube length were more influential. Rasti and Jeong [5] formed a correlation for calculating the mass flow rate of R-12, R-22, R-134a, R-152a, R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, R-507A, and R-600a for the straight capillary tube. The flow characterization of the adiabatic capillary tubes was carried out. The developed correlations had been in comparatively good agreement with different application range. Choi et al. [6] framed an experimental model for straight capillary tube with R-290, R-22, R-407C refrigerant. The effect of numerous geometric parameters and operating parameters was calculated, and an empirical correlation was developed. Chingulpitak and Wongwises [7] revealed the numerical study for the R-22, R-407C, and R-410A on the helically coiled capillary tube employing the adiabatic and homogenous two-phase condition. After completing rigorous research, they suggest that the Mori and Nakamaya friction factor equation was the best among various correlations. Jadhav and Agrawal [8-10] carried out a numerical study for the helical and spiral capillary tube with CO2 and R22 refrigerant. They suggest the coil diameter influenced the helical capillary tube and pitch

in the spiral capillary tube. Additionally, the gas cooler temperature in the CO2 system is a crucial parameter to attain the optimum pressure. Mittal et al. [11] developed a numerical model for spiral capillary tubes for R22, R407C, and R410a refrigerants. The model was developed by considering adiabatic and metastable flow conditions. Flow behavior was reported at various operating and geometric conditions. Khan et al. [12] carried out an experimental study on an adiabatic spiral capillary tube with an R-134a refrigerant. The influence of geometrical parameters on the flow behavior of the capillary tube and operating parameters such as subcooling was investigated. A reduction of 5-15 % in the mass flow rate of the spiral capillary tube compared to the straight capillary tube has been reported. An empirical correlation was also developed to predict the mass flow rate of the refrigerant.

In the past, the literature reveals the studies on straight, helical, and spiral capillary tubes individually. However, capillary tubes comparative studies have not been done at the mature level for CO2 refrigerant. Additionally, one must compare the straight, helically, and spirally coiled capillary tubes for a compact design at one glance. A compact and environmentally sustainable HVAC system is the need of today's world, and that can be addressed with various tube configurations of capillary tube and CO2 refrigerants. The objective of the present study is to exhaustively compare the straight, helical, and spiral capillary tubes with carbon dioxide refrigerant, which helps to design the straight and coiled capillary tube. The comparison was carried out for more practical tube dimensions and operating conditions of the transcritical CO2 system.

Mathematical Modeling

Mathematical modeling of the capillary tube is carried out for the straight, helical and spiral capillary tube. The capillary tube is divided into small discretized elements as shown in Fig. 1 for straight, helical and spiral capillary tube. In CO2 system, two different flow regions are observed in the capillary tube, viz. single phase and two-phase region. For simplicity, the mathematical modeling of capillary tube is divided into single phase and two-phase region.

Two Phase region

Fig. 1. Straight (a), helical (b) and spiral (c) capillary tube with discretized elements

Single Phase region

After the refrigerant cooling in the gas cooler, the single phase gaseous refrigerant pass through the capillary tube. To calculate flow characteristics of single phase region, basic equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy are applied for straight, helical, and spiral capillary tube. The conservation of mass is applied for the elemental area, then it may be written as

m = mi = m2 AV AXVX A2V2

v

v2

Here m, m1, m2 are the mass of CO2 refrigerant flowing through of the elemental area of the tube, kg/s; A is the cross-sectional area tube, m2; V is the velocity of the fluid, m/s; and v is the specific volume, m3/kg. The flow in the capillary tube is steady and unidirectional. Applying Steady Flow Energy Equation (SFEE) to elemental area we get

Vi vl

hi + + Zj + Q = h2 + y + Z2 + W.

The flow of the refrigerant is passing through the discretized session 1 and 2. Here h is the specific enthalpy, kJ/kg; V is the velocity of the fluid, m/s; z is the head across tube, m; Q is the heat transfer; and W is work done, kW. Assuming that capillary tube is adiabatic (Q = 0) with no any work done (W = 0) and the tube is horizontal (z1 = z2), above equation can be written as

Using above equations

Here G is the mass flux, kg/(m2-s). Additionally, conservation of momentum is applied to the elemental area. The summation of the forces on the elemental area is equal to the acceleration of the refrigerant. The net momentum is given as

Here, e is the surface roughness, mm; and 0 is angular displacement, rad. Two-Phase region

While passing the refrigerant through subcritical region, two-phase region is existed. In CO2 refrigerant the density ratio is low, so the two phase flow is considered as a homogenous flow. The modeling of the capillary tube is similar to the single-phase region except the dryness fraction (x) in the subcritical region. Using the dryness fraction, the enthalpy, entropy and specific entropy of the

refrigerants are calculated as

h = hf + xhfg,

v = vf + xvfg, s = sf + xsfg.

specific volume at saturated liquid, and specific volume at saturated gas, respectively, and difference of specific volume of saturated gas and saturated liquid is termed as vg = vg - Vf. Similarly, s, Sf, sg, are specific entropy, specific entropy at saturated liquid, and specific entropy at saturated gas, respectively, and Sfg = sg - Sf. The mean values of the friction factors (similar to section "Single phase region") for straight, helical, and spiral capillary tube and specific volume are used to calculate the length of the respective capillary tube.

Solution Technique

The characterization of the capillary tube has been done by calculating the length for the given mass or calculating mass for the given length. The CO2 refrigerant properties are given for this calculation. The calculation of mass is termed as simulation of the capillary tube and determination of length is called as designing of the capillary tube.

In the designing of the capillary tube, initially, for a given tube geometry and mass flow rate, evaporator temperature (Tev) gas cooler temperature (Tgc) and pressure (Pgc) used in calculating elemental length. Adding the elemental length gives the total tube length. Likewise, total length is calculated for every flow regions, viz. supercritical, transcritical and subcritical region (as shown in Fig. 2). The pressure is considered as a marching parameter to indentify the flow regions in the capillary tube. While the pressure is above the critical value (71 bar), the flow region is super-critical region. If the pressure is in between critical pressure and saturation pressure, the flow region is the transcritical region. At last, the flow region is subcritical region if it is between the saturation pressure and the evaporator pressure.

In the simulation study, as shown in Fig. 3, mass of the refrigerant is calculated for the given length. Initially mass is assumed and calculated for the total length of the tube. Comparing the calculated length (c) with the desired length (d) and if deviation is found in it, then the mass is to be changed, and again calculated length of tube. The cycle is repeated until the desired length gets equal to the calculated length and at that time assumed mass is the exact mass of the tube. The better approximate value may be found by bisection method. For numerical solutions, FORTRAN programming is used with in-house coding using the finite difference approach.

Here h, hß hg, are specific enthalpy, specific enthalpy at saturated liquid, and specific enthalpy at saturated gas, respectively, and latent heat of evaporation is given

The comparison of straight capillary tube with helical tube (50 mm coil diameter) and spiral capillary tube (50 mm pitch) has been reported. For change in tube diameter, surface roughness and length of tube, the percentage reductions in mass flow rate in capillary tubes (straight, helical, and spiral) are calculated. The change in mass flow rate for straight, helical and spiral capillary tube, when changing the tube diameter from 1 mm to 1.8 mm, is indicated. The geometric and operating conditions are: tube length 1.4 m, evaporating temperature 270 K, Surface roughness 0.0005 m, gas cooler temperature 310 K, coil diameter 50 mm (helical capillary tube only), and pitch

The change in mass flow rate for straight, helical and spiral capillary tube, when changing the tube length from 1 m to 2 m, is presented. The geometric and operating conditions are: tube diameter 1.2 m, evaporating temperature 270 K, surface roughness 0.0005 m, gas cooler temperature 310 K, coil diameter 50 mm, and pitch 50 mm. As the tube length increases, the mass flow rate decreases in straight, helical and spiral capillary tube. The increase in length increases the friction in the tube that results in decrease in mass flow rate. Fig. 7, b indicates the percentage reduction in mass for straight helical and spiral capillary tube when changing the tube length from 1 m to 2 m in five steps with 0.25 m intervals, i.e. 1 m, 1.25 m, 1.5 m, 1.75 m, 2 m. Percentage reduction in mass in a helical tube compared to straight capillary tube is from 7.36 % to 7.94 %. Percentage reduction in mass in a spiral tube compared to straight capillary tube is from 23.09 % to 25.47 %. Percentage reduction in mass in a spiral tube compared to helical capillary tube is from 16.99 % to 19.15 %.

The change in mass flow rate for straight, helical and spiral capillary tube, when changing the surface roughness from 0.0005 mm to 0.001 mm, is reported. The geometric and operating conditions are: tube diameter 1.2 m, evaporating temperature 270 K, tube length 1.4 m, gas cooler temperature 310 K, coil diameter 50 mm, and pitch 50 mm. As the surface roughness increases, the resistance to flow increases that results in decrease in mass flow rate for straight, helical and spiral capillary tube. Fig. 7, c indicates the percentage reduction in mass for straight helical and spiral capillary tube when changing the surface roughness from 0.0005 mm to 0.001 mm in five steps with 0.000125 mm intervals, i.e., 0.0005 mm, 0.000625 mm, 0.00075 mm, 0.000875 mm, 0.001 mm. Percentage reduction in mass in a helical tube compared to straight capillary tube is from 7.57 % to 6.87 %.

Conclusion

Numerical study of straight, spiral and helical capillary tube and comparison of their characteristics has been carried out. The models are developed based on the basic principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Within this outer loop, the ordinary differential equations are solved from the inlet to the exit of the capillary tube. The study has been done to find the mass flow rate by bisection method, where the mass is iteratively calculated at the specified capillary length or vice versa. For numerical solutions, FORTRAN programming is used with in-

house coding using the finite difference approach. The comparison of straight capillary with helical tube (50 mm coil diameter) and spiral capillary tube (50 mm pitch) has been reported. For changing the tube diameter, surface roughness and length of tube, the percentage reduction in mass flow rate in capillary tubes (straight, helical, and spiral) is calculated. The percentage reduction in mass in a helical tube compared to straight capillary tube is about 7-9 %. The percentage reduction in mass in a spiral tube compared to straight capillary tube is near about 23-26 %. The percentage reduction in mass in a spiral tube compared to helical capillary tube is nearly 17-19 %. The percentage reduction in length is calculated, as the mass flow rate changes from 0.005 kg/s to 0.013 kg/s. The percentage reduction in length in a helical tube compared to straight capillary tube is nearly 16 %. At the same time, percentage reduction in length in a spiral tube compared to straight capillary tube ranges from 37 % to 43 %. Similarly, percentage reduction in length in a spiral tube compared to helical capillary tube is ranging from 25 % to 32 %.
