Abstract

This article discusses well-known models and equations for calculating the heat transfer gain during film and drop condensation on a pipe, which need to be improved. Film condensation heat transfer on horizontal pipe made from brass with knurling is analyzed. The heat transfer data for investigated steam mixture condensation on horizontal tube with spikes heat intensifiers is analyzed. It is noted that the functions of drop growth for various conditions and their distribution must be known for calculating heat transfer during drop condensation. The maximum droplet radius, droplet size distribution, and then condensation heat transfer performance could be adjusted with special condensing surfaces, such as gradient, superhydrophobic, grooved, hydrophobic-hydrophilic patterned and hybrid surfaces. Now the nanoscale structures can by nanotechnologies.
