In this paper, the authors develop a general analytical model to predict the amount of
surface that is flooded during condensation on a horizontal, integral-fin tube. The model is …

An analytical model is presented for predicting film condensation of vapor flowing inside a
vertical mini triangular channel. The concurrent liquid–vapor two-phase flow field is divided …

This study reveals that, on a finned surface, there exists a region of high heat transfer
coefficients in the trough between the crests of fins. A theoretical analysis had predicted a …

A new method to assess the condensate drainage behavior of the air-side surface of
compact heat exchangers—dynamic dip testing—is introduced. The new method is shown to …

Metal foams with an open-cell structure have physical and mechanical properties
suggesting they might have advantages over conventional fin materials for use in air-cooling …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A stu drywet-, udes ndamental a ings that can e generally classified

A literature survey of condensation on the outside surface of tubes is summarized. A
theoretical model based on the effects of surface tension on a single, horizontal, integral-fin …

A simple model predicting the effect of capillary flows on the condensation heat transfer
occurring on a vertical grooved plate is presented. The model includes the effect of capillary …

We experimentally studied free convection condensation heat transfer of pure refrigerants
R12, R134a, and their mixtures on a horizontal single tube. Approximately equimolar …

In an effort to conserve energy consumption in industrial and sector applications of
refrigeration system, various endeavours have been made by researchers. Both theoretical …
