The azeotropic mixture of R600 and R134 is created in R600 with R30 concentrations of 0%, 20%, 45%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. These are utilized in refrigeration units with changing flow while keeping the other parameters constant. Higher refrigerant mixture flow enhances the heat transfer at the price of increased work consumption, causing reduction in Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the refrigerant unit. Reduction in COP is not recommended and the work utilization for a good refrigeration unit should be at minimum. The coefficient of heat transfer, mass flow, rate of heat transfer and change in pressure for different coils were calculated using a CFD simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
