Abstract
This talk will provide an overview on the progress of condensation heat transfer on horizontal finned tubes used in surface condensers. The enhancing effect of surface tension is recognized as one of the vital factor to enhance heat transfer on finned and more recently pin-finned tubes. Surface tension helps thinning the liquid film layer formed during condensation on such tubes, which finally helps to enhance heat transfer. This presentation will first provide a brief review on the experimental and theoretical advancements on condensation heat transfer on relatively simple integral-fin tubes. Later, the more effective surfaces as pin-finned tubes will be discussed. The enhancing effect of surface tension on pin-finned tubes is prominent comparing the integral-fin tubes. However, the significant complications to incorporate the effect of surface tension in theoretical modelling are emphasized. Simple attempts which are made to model this complex problem recently will be finally reviewed.
