Condensing Heat Transfer Coefficient
Condensing Heat Transfer Coefficient
(OP)
Hi,
I am designing a small condenser to remove aviation fuel vapours (internal to the tube) from a small gas flow. Could someone please tell me if the attached calculation approach is correct for a vertical tube condenser under laminar flow conditions where the condensation process is inside the tube?
Very Best Regards,

Checked my value via the Dukler plot and it gave an answer in the 115 to 120 Btu/hr/ft2/oF - so it's in the ballpark. Conversion to SI units as per my calc is * 5.687. What a helpful diagram - so much must have gone into working that little lot out!
I wasn't so sure on the Dukler plot what deltaT represented on the right handside L*deltaT column.I reasoned it was the temperature between the wall of the condenser and the vapour going through it - Any views anyone?
Thanks to all for your views and answers on this - been v.helpful.
