Abstract

The attempt of the author in this research is made to calculate a heat transfer coefficient (HTC) by combining the filmwise theory with the dropwise notion for ethanol-water mixtures condensation. A new model, including ethanol concentration, vapor pressure and velocity, is developed by introducing a characteristic coefficient to combine the two mentioned-above theories. Under different concentration, pressure and velocity, the calculation is in comparison with experiment. It turns out that the calculation value is in good agreement with the experimental result; the maximal error is within ±30.1%. In addition, the model is applied to calculate related experiment in other literature and the values obtained agree well with results in reference.
