RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 VALENTOVÁ, Karina A1 ČERNECKÝ, Jozef T1 THE HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISM DURING CONDENSATION PROCESS IN HEAT PIPES JF Trends in education YR 2012 VO 5 IS 1 SP 326 OP 329 UL https://tvv-journal.upol.cz/en/artkey/tvv-201201-0075.php AB This contribution deals with condensation heat transfer issue. It summarizes the theoretical information about pellicular and dropwise condensation in order to determine the thickness of condensate coating in a heat pipe. Consequently, the contribution gives an experimental method suggestion used for determination of thickness of condensate coating in the heat pipe. These information may be helpful in studying subject that are focused on heat and mass transfer.
