Condensation
Occurs when a vapor contacts a surface
which is at a temperature below the
saturation temperature of the vapor.
When the liquid condensate forms on the
surface, it will flow under the influence of
gravity.
Film Condensation
Normally the liquid wets the surface, spreads out and forms a
film.
Dropwise Condensation
If the surface is not wetted by the liquid, then droplets form and
run down the surface, coalescing as they contact other
condensate droplets.
Example 1
Film Condensation:
Turbulent-Flow Analysis
It is logical to expect the flow of the condensate
film to become turbulent for relatively long
surfaces or for high condensation rates.
The criterion for turbulent flow is a Reynolds
number for the condensate film.
In terms of an equivalent diameter, the
applicable Reynolds number is

Dropwise Condensation
Dropwise Condensation
Associated with higher heat-transfer
coefficients than filmwise condensation
phenomenon.
Attractive phenomenon for applications
where extremely large heat-transfer rates
are desired.
Heat Transfer Equipment
Single-pass heat exchanger fluid flows through
only once.
Parallel or Co-current flow fluids flow in the
same direction.
Countercurrent flow or Counterflow - fluids flow
in opposite directions.
Crossflow two fluids flow at right angles to one
another.

crossflow heat exchanger (B)

Shell-and-tube Arrangement
E.g. Tube-side fluid makes two passes, shell-side fluid
makes one pass.
Good mixing of the shell-side fluid makes one pass.
