Turbulent film condensation of high pressure steam in a vertical tube

Two-phase flow in inclined tubes with specific reference to condensation: A review

“…They showed that this kind of model is strongly dependent of the correlation used to calculate the interfacial friction factor and they provided a comparison with different correlations used in the literature. The paper proposed a new correlation that predicts, among others, the experimental results of Kim and No (2000).…”

“…However, such data are very rare and it is difficult to get a good overview of the validity of the correlations. For example, Kim and No (2000) compared their experimental results with the predictions of the modified Nusselt theory (Carey, 1992).…”

Experimental study of convective condensation in an inclined smooth tube. Part II: Inclination effect on pressure drops and void fractions

“…Experimental data obtained for these conditions are often compared with pressure drop correlations for adiabatic gas-liquid flow. Kim and No [11] compared their experimental results with the predictions of the modified Nusselt theory [12]. They found that the model underpredicted the pressure drop by about 25%.…”

Investigation of empirical correlations on the determination of condensation heat transfer characteristics during downward annular flow of R134a inside a vertical smooth tube using artificial intelligence algorithms

“…3.6.3 Validation of the proposed correlations by means of heat transfer correlations The Shah correlation [55] has been investigated by researchers commonly for turbulent condensation conditions especially in vertical tubes [56] and is considered to be the most comparative condensation model for annular flow regime in a tube [57]. The Shah correlation is based on the liquid heat transfer coefficient, which is valid for 350 Re l ≥ .…”

“…The Shah correlation is based on the liquid heat transfer coefficient, which is valid for 350 Re l ≥ . It has a two-phase multiplier for annular flow regime of high pressure steam and refrigerants [56,57]. Dobson and Chato [58] developed a correlation using a two-phase multiplier for an annular flow regime.…”
