A PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY OF FLOW CONDENSATION IN 1-G AND ZERO-GRAVITY ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract
High-speed photographs were taken of the flow condensation of refrigerant-12 in small diameter quartz tubes (3 mm). Photographs obtained under 1-g conditions permitted comparison of the flow regimes with the Baker chart predictions. Qualitative comparisons with other photographs taken under zero-g conditions appear to indicate no significant reduction of heat transfer under zero-g conditions.
