摘要: Abstract A falling film heat transfer test facility has been built for the measurement of evaporation in a vacuum about 1000 Pa. At this condition, only convective occurred liquid film. The Reynolds numbers over range from 21.6 to 108.1 were tested on six-tube arrays made enhanced or smooth tubes. Results show that tubes with both outer and inner surfaces give high flux. Besides, as number increases, enhancement ratio decreases. semi-analytical correlation is established predict coefficients tube arrays, considering contributions partially dryout fully wet regimes, respectively. For tubes, ratios also correlated.
