A Review about Condensation Heat Tansfer with Non-Condensable Gases

Abstract:

Non-condenable gases decrease performance of heat transfer by degrading condensation of vapor. Therefore, to comprehend the mechanism that non-condensable gases affect condensation heat transfer is helpful to improve efficiency of heat transfer of devices.At the present work, the update development of experimental and theoretical researches about condensation heat transfer with non-condensable gases were present. These findings report effects of non-condensable gases on parameters, including condensation heat transfer coefficients, flow pattern and wall temperature. Meanwhile, variations of condensation heat transfer in the presence of non-condensable gases with various conditions, involving geometric conditions, flow pattern and species of non-condensable gases. By the contrast, the enhancement of heat transfer of condensation with non-condensable gases should give more concerns.
