Abstract
This paper reviews the problems that are likely to be encountered in measuring the film condensation heat transfer coefficient on horizontal tubes and the progress that has been made in obtaining accurate experimental values. Direct methods using wall temperature measurements and indirect methods such as the Wilson plot technique are compared. The particular difficulties and uncertainties associated with measurements on integral-fin tubes are described, including recent efforts to deduce the local heat transfer coefficient distribution around the tube circumference.
