Vapor condensation on an inclined plate within a porous medium
In thermal power generation the process of heating a surface by condensing vapor is widespread. The authors consider the problem of vapor condensation on an inclined plane surface located within a porous medium. The vapor condenses on the outer surface of a moving condensate film. The velocity profiles in the liquid film were calculated using Brinkman's filtration equation, which is a simple superposition of Darcy's law and the equation of viscous flow in a porous medium. The temperature distribution was measured over the height of the granular layer by using a movable bar carrying thermocouples placed at various points in the layer. The results obtained with regard to effective thermal conductivity agree qualitatively with data presented.
