The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.5 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00018 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.11 SJR: 0.286 SNIP: 1.032 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 10

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an overview of the most recent research works on condensation heat transfer inside minichannels with halogenated refrigerants. The first part is focused on the experimental results available in the scientific literature and the effect of the main parameters (channel diameter, mass velocity, vapor quality, saturation temperature, heat flux, channel orientation) on convective condensation. In particular the effect of channel shape is treated, showing that at low mass velocity some peculiar characteristics of microscale condensation can be observed. In the second part, numerical models of condensation in minichannels are presented. These models should be able to simulate the heat transfer process resolving the momentum and energy equations, without or at least with a reduced number of empirical inputs. One important feature of the numerical modeling is to provide an insight into the heat transfer mechanisms that may be difficult to get only from the experimental investigation. However, note that such numerical models, due to the heavy computational effort required, are still far from being widely applied in the heat exchanger design.
