Abstract
Filmwise condensation of vapor is used in the vast majority of modern industrial condensers. This is a rather complex phenomenon, associated with the necessity of taking into account various interrelated factors, including the influence of the vapor velocity on the condensation process. This work is part of a series of review articles addressing the basics of hydrodynamics and heat transfer during vapor condensation on smooth and finned horizontal tubes. The main focus of the work is on the hydrodynamics and heat transfer during filmwise condensation of moving (including fast-moving) vapor. The purpose of this brief review is to present our own experimental results and those available in scientific literature that are of fundamental importance for understanding the process under study and will also be useful in designing of filmwise condensers.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Engineering Thermophysics is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles. The journal welcomes original articles on thermophysics from all countries in the English language. The journal focuses on experimental work, theory, analysis, and computational studies for better understanding of engineering and environmental aspects of thermophysics. The editorial board encourages the authors to submit papers with emphasis on new scientific aspects in experimental and visualization techniques, mathematical models of thermophysical process, energy, and environmental applications. Journal of Engineering Thermophysics covers all subject matter related to thermophysics, including heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow, conduction, radiation, combustion, thermo-gas dynamics, rarefied gas flow, environmental protection in power engineering, and many others.
