Abstract:The availability of experimental liquid film thickness data during in-tube condensation heat transfer is fundamental for the development of reliable correlations for the design of condensers. During annular flow condensation, the heat transfer is directly linked to the liquid film thickness, as the main thermal resistance is due to thermal conduction through the film of condensate. Therefore, understanding the liquid film characteristics is paramount for modelling two-phase annular flows. Although several pred… Show more
