Surface Nonisothermness Effect on Profiled Surface Condensation Enhancement
The numerical solution results of condensation on fin, taking fin and tube wall nonisothermness into consideration, are presented. The problem is solved in a two-dimensional statement. Solution results show considerable two-dimensionality for finned tube temperature distribution. Fin wall nonisothermness reduces fin vapor condensation efficiency
