Summary

THE EFFECTS UPON THE PERFORMANCE OF AN AIR-TO-WATER COPPER FINNED-TUBE CROSSFLOW HEAT EXCHANGER DUE TO CONDENSATION ON THE OUTER SURFACE ARE CONSIDERED. A FOUR TUBE, TWO-PASS HEAT EXCHANGER WAS TESTED OVER A REYNOLDS NUMBER RANGE FROM 400 TO 1,500. THE COIL WAS OPERATED BOTH IN OVERALL PARALLEL AND OVERALL COUNTERFLOW CONFIGURATIONS. CONVECTIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS ARE PRESENTED AS PLOTS OF COLBURN FACTOR VERSUS REYNOLDS NUMBER. PRESSURE LOSSES ARE PRESENTED AS PLOTS OF THE FRICTION FACTOR VERSUS REYNOLDS NUMBER.
