Summary

This article presents an improved set of correlations for evaluating the heat transfer coefficient of EHD assisted condensation heat transfer for tubular systems. A comprehensive literature review of all available correlations for EHD assisted condensation heat transfer is also described in this paper. Two correlations that were identified as simple were used to predict the above-mentioned data bank. These are the correlations of Choi and Reynolds and Didkovesky and Bologa. The Choi and Reynolds correlation was found to successfully predict heat transfer rates of condensation outside horizontal and vertical tubes and of condensation inside vertical tubes when high intensity electric field is applied. However, the Didkovesky and Bologa correlation was found to successfully predict only the results concerning condensation heat transfer outside vertical surfaces.
