Author(s) : ADAMEK T., WEBB R. L.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTION OF FILM CONDENSATION ON HORIZONTAL INTEGRAL FIN TUBES. THE MODEL ACCOUNTS FOR CONDENSATION ON ALL SURFACES IN THE FLOODED AND UNFLOODED REGIONS, AND INCLUDES THE EFFECT OF FIN EFFICIENCY. IT IS BASED ON QUITE SIMPLE PRINCIPLES, AND IS APPLICABLE TO HAND OR COMPUTER CALCULATIONS. THE MODEL IS APPLICABLE TO FINS OF 2 DIFFERENT BASIC PROFILE SHAPES. IT IS VALIDATED BY SHOWING ITS ABILITY TO PREDICT A WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA (WATER, METHANOL, N-PENTANE, R11, R12, R22 AND R113).
