✦ Synopsis

This paper presents an analytical model for prediction of film condensation heat transfer inside integral-fin tubes of large diameter. The proposed model accounts for gravity and surface tension forces and is validated against experimental data for one fin geometry in two dielectric fluids (R-l 13 and FC-72).
