Liquid Metal Condensation

Abstract

A study of turbulent film condensation was first made based on the two-phase model utilizing the eddy kinematic viscosities of Deissler and von Karman. It has been shown that the prediction of the average heat transfer coefficient is still higher than the liquid metal data of Misra and Bonilla. Under the premise that an upward vapor flow exists, it has been shown qualitatively that an upward vapor flow can greatly reduce the heat transfer coefficient. The observed scatter of data may be attributable to the variations of vapor or velocity.
