Abstract
Enhanced condensation heat transfer, aided by surface tension, has been measured using vertical tubes with V-shaped grooves on the interior surface. The number of grooves in the same tube diameter were 28,32,36, and 40. The heat transfer rates have been observed to reach high values near the groove number of 40. The results from experiments are in agreement with the theoretical model. For a specified diameter there exists an optimum groove number of V-shaped corrugated system which is found by theoretical analysis.
