Surface renewal model of condensation heat transfer in tubes with in-line static mixers

Abstract

A surface renewal model has been developed for condensation heat transfer inside a circular tube with in-line static mixers. This model gives rise to the following dimensionless correlating equation: [ Nu] = C[ pr][ Re l ][ μ l μ m ][ d L ][ p m p ̄ l ] 1 2 [(1−x)H fg + H sp+ C pmΔT] 1 2 The constant C was determined experimentally.
