A semi-empirical model to predict the evaporation heat transfer of pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures flowing inside microfin tubes has been presented. The heat transfer coefficient correlation developed in the new model takes into account the nucleate boiling component and the forced convention component. The model was validated using a set of around 380 experimental data points compiled from published literature. Comparison shows that the model is capable of predicting evaporation heat transfer coefficients for different refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures within 10-25 per cent mean absolute deviation for the data sets.
