FUNDAMENTALS OF CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER: LAMINAR FILM CONDENSATION.

Author(s) : ROSE J. W.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

THE PAPER REVIEWS BASIC THEORETICAL STUDIES OF LAMINAR FILM CONDENSATION SINCE NUSSELT (1916). FOR NATURAL CONVECTION CONDENSATION ON VERTICAL PLATES AND HORIZONTAL TUBES, DETAILED SOLUTIONS SHOW THAT THE SIMPLE NUSSELT RESULTS ARE SURPRISINGLY ACCURATE OVER A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS. RELATIVELY SIMPLE, ACCURATE EQUATIONS, WHICH TAKE ACCOUNT OF THESE FACTORS, ARE, HOWEVER, AVAILABLE. FOR FORCED CONVECTION CONDENSATION, DETAILED SOLUTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL PLATES INDICATE THAT INERTIA AND CONVECTION ARE GENERALLY UNIMPORTANT FOR THE NORMAL PRACTICAL RANGES OF THE VARIABLES. A RELATIVELY SIMPLE RESULT, EQUIVALENT TO THE NUSSELT EQUATION FOR NATURAL CONVECTION, GIVES THE HEAT TRANSFER FOR THIS CASE WITH GOOD ACCURACY.
