CONDENSATION ON ENHANCED SURFACE HORIZONTAL TUBES
Аннотация
Experimental work on heat transfer during film condensation of pure vapours on the outside of enhanced surface horizontal condenser tubes is studied. A comprehensive review of previous investigations with low, medium and high surface tension fluids condensing on single integral-fin tubes is given and best performance tubes identified. Comparisons are made with the predictions of theoretical models, and some experimental work on banks of tubes and on the use of drainage strips is described.
