One of the instruments obtained by ERDA will be evaluated at ORNL to assess its potential as a monitor for hazardous by-products from alternative energy sources. Investigations to determine the desirability of a membrane inlet system for concentrating organic vapors are planned. The feasibility of using a portable gas chromatograph with the portable mass spectrometer, when a complex mixture analysis is required, is also being studied.

The Nusselt analysis of laminar film condensation has been shown to be reasonably accurate for a variety of ordinary fluids such as steam and organic vapors, despite the approximations made in the model. Measured heat transfer coefficients are about 15-20 percent higher than predicted values. Numerous studies have been conducted to explain the observed differences. For example, in Eq. 14.9, a correction may be made to the latent heat of evaporation to take into account condensate subcooling ...
