description An important feature of detailed system simulation models for unitary air conditioners is the calculation of charge inventory. Void fraction determination in the two-phase regions of the heat exchangers is the primary challenge associated with charge inventory calculations. Annular flow is one of the predominant flow regimes encountered in horizontal heat exchangers. Analytical annular flow models typically fail to accurately represent void fraction. Thus, many of the available void fraction models are empirically based. To improve the prediction capabilities of void fraction models, a mechanistic void fraction model has been developed for annular flow in horizontal tubes. The present model considers the effect of momentum eddy diffusivity damping at the liquid–vapor interface. Two approaches are presented for determining the wall shear stress. The modeling results are compared to predictions from various void fraction models found in the literature. The present model is found to work well at moderate mass fluxes.
