Abstract
A condensation correlation was developed for vapor and air mixture condensation in a vertical tube based on experimental data and mechanistic model. Parametric computations were performed using a heat and mass analogy model for various operating parameters of the passive condenser system. The parameters investigated were noncondensable gas mass fraction (Wb mixture gas Reynolds number (ReG) and Jacob number (JaG,). An Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) regression algorithm was used to develop condensation heat transfer correlation for the passive condensei A total of 102,600 data points was used as input to the A CE. The local condensation heat transfer correlations in terms of Nusselt number (Nu obtained were: = 0.08 Wh for turbulent flow and = 160 Wh The correlations are valid for O<Wb 5, 0 0. OO2 05. The correlations results agreed well with the available experimental data.
