Summary

CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER INSIDE HORIZONTAL TUBES IS INVESTIGATED FOR A STRATIFIED, COCURRENT TWO-PHASE FLOW OF VAPOUR AND LIQUID. THE INFLUENCE OF SEVERAL PARAMETERS IS EVALUATED WITH RESPECT TO THE PERIPHERAL CONDENSATE FILM HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE FOR THE PRACTICALLY INTERESTING LAMINAR FLOW RANGE OF OPERATING CONDITIONS OF WATER-VAPOUR FLOW. A THEORETICAL PREDICTIVE METHOD IS DEVELOPED TO OBTAIN THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT. THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS AGREE FAVORABLY WITH THE REPORTED EXPERIMENTAL DATA WHICH COVER A VARIETY OF FLUIDS. A SIMPLE, PREDICTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT CORRELATION IS PROPOSED.
