The extent of condensate flooding as a function of condensate flow rate is measured on six
horizontal pin-fin tubes (varying in circumferential pin-spacing) via simulated
experimentation. Surface tension to density ratio is tested using three fluids namely water,
ethylene glycol and R-141b. Results show that flooding was strongly effected by changing
the condensate flow rate. An increase in flow rate caused a marginal decrease in flooding
angle (an angle extracted from top of the test tube to the fully flooded flank). Similarly …
