Full Description

A generalized correlation has been proposed for predicting the heat transfer coefficient during condensation inside smooth and internally finned tubes. It predicts the majority of the data points of the authors as well as the data points of previous investigations. It was generated from a data base that is broader than the data base of previous correlations. It was tested against steam , R-113, and R-11 condensation data.
