The attempt of the author in this research is made to calculate a heat transfer coefficient (HTC) by combining the filmwise theory with the dropwise notion for ethanol-water mixtures condensation. A new model, including ethanol concentration, vapor pressure and velocity, is developed by introducing a characteristic coefficient to combine the two mentioned-above theories. Under different concentration, pressure and velocity, the calculation is in comparison with experiment. It turns out that the calculation value is in good agreement with the experimental result; the maximal error is within ±30.1%. In addition, the model is applied to calculate related experiment in other literature and the values obtained agree well with results in reference.
The rates of condensation and evaporation of adsorbed particles when they interact with long-range forces are deduced from kinetic considerations, including also the case of adsorption of diatomic molecules with dissociation. The rate of evaporation is compared with experiment, and the variation of the dipole moment with θ required to make the theory agree with experiment is discussed.Finally the formulae for the rates of condensation and evaporation are applied to the problem of the diffusion of gases through metals, and it is found that for the processes considered the effect of interaction does not alter the conclusion arrived at in an earlier paper concerning the diffusion equation at small p and at large p.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
