Dropwise And Filmwise Condensation Apparatus for engineering schools

Dropwise and Filmwise Condensation Apparatus Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter – Designed for engineering and heat transfer laboratories, this apparatus is used to study and compare dropwise and filmwise condensation on vertical surfaces. The setup enables visualization of both condensation modes and determination of their respective heat transfer coefficients, making it ideal for mechanical and chemical engineering experiments.

Experiments:

• Study of filmwise and dropwise condensation of steam on a vertical surface

• Visualization of dropwise and filmwise condensation

• Comparison of heat transfer coefficients under both condensation modes
