You can read online An Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of Condensate Inundation On Heat Transfer In A Horizontal Tube Bundle and write the review.

A test facility to evaluate the effect of condensate inundation on heat transfer within a horizontal tube bundle was designed, constructed and validated. Five 15.9 mm (5/8 in.) nominal outside diameter, smooth stainless steel tubes were utilized in a vertical row. They were located in an equilateral triangular array with a spacing to diameter ratio of 1.5. Heat transfer performance was determined for each tube in the bundle. Data was taken by condensing steam at about 21 kPa (3 psia) on the outside of each tube. Each tube was cooled by water on the inside at velocities of 0.78 to 7.0 m/sec (2.56 to 23 ft/sec). The overall heat transfer coefficient was determined directly from experimental data. The inside and outside heat transfer coefficients were determined using the Wilson plot technique. Observation of condensate flow showed lateral droplet motion along the tube in portions of the condenser as well as side drainage, particularly over the first three tubes. Outside heat transfer coefficients were lower than expected when compared to Nusselt theory, possibly due to the effects of secondary vapor flow and/or non-condensable gases. Recommendations to improve validation are provided. (Author).

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 26 (thesis year 1981) a total of 11 ,048 theses titles from 24 Canadian and 21 8 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 26 reports theses submitted in 1981, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This Brief concerns heat transfer and pressure drop in heat transfer enhancement for boiling and condensation. The authors divide their topic into six areas: abrasive treatment and coatings, combined structured and porous surfaces, basic principles of boiling mechanism, vapor space condensation, convective vaporization, and forced condensation inside tubes. Within this framework, the book examines range of specific phenomena including abrasive treatment, open grooves, 3D cavities, etched surfaces, electroplating, pierced 3D cover sheets, attached wire and screen promoters, non-wetting coatings, oxide and ceramic coatings, porous surfaces, structured surfaces (integral roughness), combined structured and porous surfaces, composite surfaces, single-tube pool boiling tests, theoretical fundamentals like liquid superheat, effect of cavity shape and contact angle on superheat, entrapment of vapor in cavities, nucleation at a surface cavity, effect of dissolved gases, bubble departure diameter, bubble dynamics, boiling hysteresis and orientation effects, basic principles of boiling mechanism, visualization and mechanism of boiling in subsurface tunnels, and Chien and Webb parametric boiling studies.

Steam-condensation heat-transfer measurements were made using a 5-tube in-line test condenser with an additional perforated tube to simulate up to 30 active tubes. Results were obtained for smooth tubes wire-wrapped tubes and dropwise-coated tubes. The average outside heat-transfer coefficient for 30 smooth tubes was 0.64 times the Nusselt coefficient fo the first tube. A total of eight wire-diameter and wire-pitch combinations were tested: 1.6-mm-diameter wire wrapped at 16 mm, 7.6 mm and 4 mm wire pitches, 1.0-mm-diameter wire wrapped at 8 mm, 4 mm and 2 mm wire pitches, and 0.5-mm-diameter wire wrapped at 4 and 2 mm wire pitches. The best bundle performance was obtained when the tubewere wrapped with 1.0-mm-diameter wire at a wire pitch of 4 mm. This combination resulted in an average outside heat-transfer coefficient for 30 tubes that was 1.15 times the value computed for the first time using the Nusselt theory. The average outside heat-transfer coefficient for 30 dropwise-coated tubes was 1.1 times the value of the heat-transfer coefficient for the first tube in the tube bundle. Using either wire-wrapped tubes or dropwise-coated tubes, it is possible to significantly reduce the condenser surface area and overall size. Keywords: Inundation, Smooth, wire-wrapped tubes.
