Condensation Heat Transfer. Much research has been conducted to achieve better efficiencies and better heat transfer performances in condensers in the past decades. Heat in the amount hfg the latent heat of vaporization is released during condensation and is transferred through the film to the plate surface at temperature ts.
Also a calculation formula for mean. Exchanger and mass transfer. Because of the close relationship between flow boiling and convective condensation with respect to flow patterns some heat transfer mechanisms and physically based models the topic of condensation has been added to the boiling conference this time.
Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase and is the reverse of vaporisation.
In recent years the numerous advances in microscale and macroscale two phase heat transfer have been made. Ie gravity drained condensation and vapor shear controlled condensation. When water vapor condenses and forms a liquid its latent heat of condensation releases heat to the environment. The area averaged heat transfer coefficient for 80 dropwise condensation was 60000 wm2k 8 and the hydrophobic dropwise condensation heat transfer coefficients for this.
