文摘This paper introduces a method for studying condensation heat transfer inside a tube in a microgravity environment. The model assumes laminar flow in the condensate film and an annular flow pattern. The local heat transfer coefficient is then calculated by gravitational acceleration, gi from 0 to 9.8 m/s2.The model was tested indirectly by measuring condensation heat transfer inside a vertical tube in a normal gravity environment through experiments.
