A. Modes of condensation
Condensate may form from vapor in a number of different ways as illustrated in Figure 1. These ways are as follows:
- Filmwise condensation: The condensate forms a continuous film on the cooled surface. This is the most important mode of condensation occurring in industrial equipment and is discussed in Section 185.
- Homogeneous condensation: The vapor condenses out as droplets suspended in the gas phase, thus forming a fog. A necessary condition for this to occur is that the vapor is below saturation temperature, which may be achieved (as illustrated) by increasing the pressure as the vapor flows through a smooth expansion in flow area. In condensers, however, it usually occurs when condensing high-molecular-weight vapors in the presence of noncondensable gas. This topic is dealt with in Section 190.
- Dropwise condensation: This occurs when the condensate is formed as droplets on a cooled surface instead of as a continuous film. High heat transfer coefficients can be obtained with dropwise condensation, but this Is difficult to maintain continuously in heat exchangers. This topic is discussed in Section 188.
- Direct contact condensation: This occurs when vapor is brought directly into contact with a cold liquid.
- Condensation of vapor mixtures forming immiscible liquids: A typical example of this is when a steam-hydrocarbon mixture is condensed. The patterns formed by the liquid phases are complicated and varied as described in Section 187, where this topic is presented.
