Abstract

This master's project focuses on the experimental investigation of parameters during flow in horizontal ducts with forced vibrations, focused on simulating conditions that occur in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems when subjected to vibrations. It is intended to carry out tests with the imposition of heat flow to estimate the heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss for the system without and with vibrations at different frequencies and amplitudes.
