The effect of circumferential tube wall heat conduction upon laminar filmwise condensation on the outside of condenser tubes.
effectofcircumfe00holl.pdf (3.052Mb)Abstract
This thesis describes the results of a theoretical study
to predict the thermal behavior of an internally-cooled tube
in a condensing vapor.
The analysis constitutes a unique application of the
finite element method and provides new insights into the
effects of circumferential conduction upon condenser tube
performance. Comparisons are made between the present analysis
and the theoretical and experimental works of others. The
inclusion of circumferential conduction leads to an improvement
in the predictive capabilities of the analytical model.
