Analysis of film condensation within inclined thin porous-layer coated surfaces.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Film condensation enhancement by a porous-fluid composite system is investigated numerically. The numerical simulations detail laminar film condensation from an inclined thin porous-layer coated plate that is immersed in pure saturated steam at atmospheric pressure. The dependence of the average heat transfer coefficient on the surface subcooling, the gravity field, and the thin porous-layer coating characteristics is documented.
