DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2017.11.015
Abstract: Abstract Until now, no study that systematically investigated the influence of low mass fluxes and temperature differences on condensation heat transfer coefficients has been conducted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to measure condensing… read more here.
