Numerical study of unsteady film condensation with non-condensable gas

초록/요약

Numerical simulation of wavy film condensation in a vertical channel with non-condensable gases is performed by combining unsteady differential equations for the vapor phase with unsteady integral boundary layer f ormulations for a very thin condensate film. The present method, which can save computational time significantly, can accurately consider t he condensation effect by explicitly implementing the velocity, stress, and heat flux conditions at the interface. An analytical model is also developed for internal flow condensation with non condensable gases. The numerical results for steady film conden sation with non condensable gases show good agreement with the analytical solutions. The present method is applied to investigate the effects of non condensable gas, inlet vapor velocity and wall subcooling on the condensate film thickness and heat flux in wavy film condensation.
