Experimental Measurements of Condensation on Vertical Plates With Enhanced Fins
Published

Abstract
Fins were accurately machine on vertical plates with the electric discharge (EDM) process. Condensation heat transfer data for various fin shapes were used to experimentally demonstrate the importance of large curvature and curvature gradients for surface-tension drainage. A semi-experimental method was developed to verify the surface-tension condensation theories of Gregorig and Adamek. The semi-experimental method was the first used to isolate condensation regions of a finned surface. Experimental and theoretical analysis of combined surface-tension and gravity drainge condensation in channels are presented.Proceedings Title
