Condensation with Noncondensables and in Multicomponent Mixtures

  • Chapter
Two-Phase Flow Heat Exchangers

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 143))

Abstract

The condensation rate of a vapor can be significantly reduced if a noncondensable is present or if the vapor is one component of a multicomponent system. The reduction is caused by the noncondensables and/or more volatile components lowering the dew point of the vapor and by a mass transfer resistance to the condensing component resulting from a build up of a layer of noncondensables or more volatile components at the liquid vapor interface. The parametric trends associated with and the controlling mechanism of condensation with noncondensables and in multicomponent mixtures are reviewed, relevant research is discussed, and current design methods are considered.
