Tube banks film condensation

Select the calculation method to be used. Condensation on the outside of banks of horizontal tubes can be predicted assuming two mechanisms. The first assumes laminar condensate flow the second assumes that vapor shear dominates the heat transfer. The following equations can be used to predict heat-transfer coefficients for condensation on banks of horizontal tubes For laminar-film condensation,... [Pg.301]

Transition from laminar to turbulent flow within the condensed film can occur when the vapor is condensed on a tall surface or on a tall vertical bank of horizontal tubes [45] to [47]. It has been found that the film Reynolds number, based on the mean velocity in the film, um, and the hydraulic diameter, D, can be used to characterize the conditions under which transition from laminar flow occurs. The mean velocity in the film is given by definition as ... [Pg.570]
