EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF CONDENSATION IN COUNTERCURRENT STEAM-WATER FLOW

Steam condensation in countercurrent stratified flow of steam and subcooled water was experimentally investigated in a near horizontal rectangular channel. The effect of inlet water and steam flow rates, and the inlet water temperature on condensation was studied. Correlations are proposed for Nusselt number for the smooth and wavy interface regimes.
