Fins are nothing but extended surfaces that are used for Increasing the rate of heat transfer

thebubblesareformedmorerapidlyandrisetothesurfaceoftheliquidresultinginrapidevaporation
in region III. Thus the nucleate boiling consist of formation of bubbles at specific location and that
results in liquid agitation. The bubble agitation causes fluid mixing and that promotes substantial
increaseinheattransfercoefficientandheatflux.

Themaximumheatfluxknownascriticalheatflux,occursatpointX.
3.Filmboiling:
FilmboilingcomprisesofregionsIV,VandVI.InregionIVthebubbleformationisveryrapidand
the bubbles covers the heating surface and prevent liquid from taking their place. The bubble break

Q.16Whatismeanbycriticalheatfluxorburnoutpoint
The critical heat flux or burn out point is the point of maximum heat flux at which transition
from nucleate boiling to film boiling takes place. The boiling process beyond critical heat flux point is
unstable so it is called as boiling crisis .the boiling equipment design to operate close to this point ,
because beyond this point the surface temp. reached may be above the melting point of equipment
material.
Q.17DiscusstheFactorsaffectingnucleateboiling:

The dynamic viscosity of fluid affect the size of bubbles . with increase in dynamic viscosity size of
bubblesincreases.asthesizeofbubbleincreases,thefrequencyofbubbleformationdecreases.which
resultsinreducedheattransfer.

3.Pressure
The pressure affect the rate of bubble growth and in turn also affects the temperature difference
causing heat flow. For a boiling liquid up to the critical pressure, the maximum allowable heat flux
increasesandafterthatitdeclines.
4.Mechanicalagitation
Theheattransferrateincreaseswiththeincreaseindegreeofagitation.
Q.18Influenceofpresenceofnoncondensablegasesoncondensation
The presence of non condensable gas such as air in a condensing vapour produces a
detrimental effect on the heat transfer coefficient. Even few percent by volume of air in steam, the
condensationheattransfercoefficientisreduced bymorethan50%.Thisisbecauseofdepositionof
noncondensablegasatthesurfaceduringthecondensationofvapour.Thislayerofdepositionofnon
condensablegasoverthesurfaceactsasthermalresistance.thisadditionalthermalresistancetensto
reduce the heat transfer rate which results in reduced condensation rate. The rate of condensation
decreases remarkably even with presence of small amount of non condensable gas in condensing
vapour. . Any further condensation at the surface will occur only after incoming vapour has diffused
through this non condensable gas collected in the vicinity of the surface. The non condensable gas
adjacent to the surface acts as a thermal resistance to the condensation process. The rate of
condensation decreases greatly when the condensable vapour is contaminated with even very small
amountofnoncondensablegases.
Q.19DifferentiatebetweenFilmwiseandDropwiseCondensation
If the condensate tends to wet the surface and thereby forms a liquid film then the
condensation process is known as film condensation. In film condensation, condensate film exists
betweenthehotvapourandcoolingsurface.Thiscondensatefilmtemperatureishighercomparedto
coolingsurfacetemperatureduetowhichavailabletemperaturedifferenceforheattransferdecreases.

So in case of film condensation heat transfer rate are smaller. As the film thickness increases
furthertheheattransferratedecreases.
In dropwise condensation the vapour condenses as small liquid droplets of various sizes. The
drop of condensate forms in pits and cracks in the surface, grow there and leave the surface without
formingacontinuousfilmofcondensateonthecoolingsurface.
Indropwisecondensationhigherratesofheattransferandthushigherrateofcondensationae
achieved because large surface area is directly exposed to vapour without any intermediate film of
condensate between them The coefficient of heat transfer in this condensation is upto 5 to 10 times
than that in film condensation. For dropwise condensation to occur either highly polished surfaces or
surfaces contaminated with impurities are required. Use of additives or painting of surface may be
employedtoachievedropwisecondensation.

Since mass flow rate and specific heat of fluids remains constant, the maximum heat transfer
related to maximum temperature difference available in heat exchanger. The fluid for which capacity
