Summary

FLUTED TUBES WHICH WERE DESIGNED BY GREGORIG CONSIDERING THE USE OF SURFACE TENSION FORCES ARE COMMONLY USED IN EVAPORATORS AND CONDENSERS FOR DESALINATION PURPOSES. IN THE STUDY THE SURFACE PROFILE OF A FLUTED TUBE, WHICH CANNOT BE DESCRIBED BY ANY CONVENTIONAL COORDINATE SYSTEM IS OBTAINED NUMERICALLY BY USING AN INTRINSIC-COORDINATE SYSTEM. NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS ARE SOLVED AFTER SOME SIMPLIFICATIONS FOR THE CONDENSATE FLOWING OVER THE SINUSOIDAL FLUTED PROFILE TO FIND THE VOLUMETRIC FLOW RATE. THE RESULTS ARE FOUND TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL FINDINGS.
