Abstract

Filmwise condensation of vapor is used in the vast majority of modern industrial condensers. This is a rather complex phenomenon, associated with the necessity of taking into account various interrelated factors, including the influence of the vapor velocity on the condensation process. This work is part of a series of review articles addressing the basics of hydrodynamics and heat transfer during vapor condensation on smooth and finned horizontal tubes. The main focus of the work is on the hydrodynamics and heat transfer during filmwise condensation of moving (including fast-moving) vapor. The purpose of this brief review is to present our own experimental results and those available in scientific literature that are of fundamental importance for understanding the process under study and will also be useful in designing of filmwise condensers.
