VAPOUR TO COOLANT HEAT TRANSFER DURING CONDENSATION OF FLOWING VAPOUR ON A HORIZONTAL TUBE
Resumo
The vapour to coolant conjugate heat transfer
during condensation of flowing vapour on a horizontal
tube is numerically analyzed over a wide range
of relevant parameters. Based on these numerical
results, an equivalent resistance network model is
proposed to predict the heat transfer rate. The
validity of this model is confirmed by the experiments
with refrigerant R-113 and by the available
data for steam.
