An experimental measurements of heat transfer coefficient of isobutane at 4.14 MPa (600 psia) has been performed using the experimental system developed by the Sea Water Conversion Laboratory. The experimental system simulates a geothermal power plant utilizing a binary cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. In this system, isobutane is heated inside a horizontal tube with steam condensing on the outside.
