“…An empirical equation was proposed for an average heat transfer coefficient, which was in good agreement with the experimental data of Honda et al (1986) and Lin and Yang (2004) who investigated an elliptical condenser tube with variable wall temperature. The non-uniform temperature had an appreciable effect on the local film heat transfer coefficient, but its influence on the mean heat transfer coefficient was minimal.…”

A mathematical model was developed for the study of external turbulent film condensation of pure vapours flowing downward and normal to the axis of the condenser tube with constant heat flux conditions maintained at the tube wall. The magnitude of interfacial shear was estimated for a given external flow condition of the vapour with the help of Colburn's analogy. The average condensation heat transfer coefficients for different system conditions were evaluated. The present theory was compared with the available experimental and theoretical data in the literature and was found to be satisfactory.
