A physical and mathematical model of annular film condensation in a miniature tube has been developed. In the model the liquid flow has been coupled with the vapor flow along the liquid-vapor interface through the interfacial temperature, heat flux, shear stress, and pressure jump conditions due to surface tension effects. The model predicts the shape of the liquid-vapor interface along the condenser and the length of the two-phase flow region. The numerical results show that complete condensation of the incoming vapor is possible at comparatively low heat loads. Observations from a flow visualization experiment of water vapor condensing in a horizontal glass tube confirm the existence and qualitative features of annular film condensation leading to the complete condensation phenomenon in small diameter (d < 3.5 mm) circular tubes.

Abstract Various approaches to the problem of modelling annular film condensation in a vertical tube with downflow are analysed. Laminar and turbulent film models are discussed and applied to intube condensation. The results are compared to several empirical and semi-empirical models for intube condensation.

Numerical modeling of the problem of dam monitoring by the Electrical Resistivity Tomography method is carried out. The mathematical model is based on integral equations with a partial Fourier transform with respect to one spatial variable. It is assumed that the measurement line is located across the dam longitude. To approximate the shape of the dam surface, the Radial Basic Functions method is applied. The influence of locations of the water-dam, dam-basement, basement-leakage boundaries with respect to the sounding installation, which is partially placed under the headwater, is studied. Numerical modeling is carried out for the following varied parameters: 1) water level at the headwater; 2) the height of the leak; 3) the depth of the leak; 4) position of the supply electrode; 5) water level and leaks positions are changing simultaneously. Modeling results are presented in the form of apparent resistivity curves, as it is customary in geophysical practice.
