Summary

FILM CONDENSATION ON A VERTICAL ISOTHERMAL SURFACE SUBMERGED IN A PACKED BED WAS EXAMINED EXPERIMENTALLY. RESULTS ARE PRESENTED FOR PACKED BEDS CONSISTING OF GLASS BEADS. THE CONDENSING FLUID WAS SATURATED R11. THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH THE THEORETICAL RESULTS OF CHENG (1981) AND WHITE AND TIEN (1987). THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT WITH THE CHENG(1981) THEORY AND THEY ARE IN QUALITATIVE AGREEMENT WITH WHITE AND TIEN (1987) THEORY, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE WALL EFFECTS. THEY INDICATE THAT AN IMPROVED THEORY THAT ACCOUNTS FOR SURFACE TENSION IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE QUANTITATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA.
