Condensation Number

Condensation number is used in heat transfer in general and as the name implies in condensation calculations in particular. It is normally defined in one of the following forms :

 

Condensation Number

or

Condensation Number

 

Where:

delta-T

=

Temperature difference

lambda

=

Latent heat

g

=

Gravitational acceleration

h

=

Heat transfer coefficient

k

=

Thermal Conductivity

L

=

Characteristic length

mu

=

Viscosity

rho

=

Density
