PREDICTION OF FILM CONDENSATION ON VERTICAL FINNED PLATES AND TUBES: A MODEL FOR THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL.

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

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PAPER FORMULATES A THEORETICAL METHOD TO PREDICT THE CONDENSATION RATE IN A DRAINAGE CHANNEL OF RECTANGULAR CROSS-SECTION. THE MODEL WAS USED TO PREDICT THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA OF KEDZIERSKI AND WEBB, AND IS SHOWN TO PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT PREDICTION OF THE DATA. THE PREDICTION SHOWS THAT THE CONDENSATION RATE IN THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL ACCOUNTED FOR 6-32% OF THE TOTAL CONDENSATION RATE ON THE GREGORIG CONVEX FIN PROFILE. WITHSLIGHT MODIFICATION, THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL MODEL MAY BE EXTENDED TO PREDICT THE CONDENSATION RATE IN DRAINAGE CHANNELS HAVING OTHER THAN A RECTANGULAR SHAPE, EG, A COSINE SHAPE.
