A generalized correlation for condensation on vertical fluted surfaces
A correlation was developed for laminar film condensation on vertical fluted surfaces. The theoretical analysis of Panchal and Bell was used for defining important physical property groups. The experimental data of Combs et al. were used to validate the proposed correlation. The experimental database used in the present study included four flute geometries that could be approximated to cosine type flutes and seven fluids. The resulting correlation can predict the average condensate heat-transfer coefficient within {plus_minus} 20%.
