Comparative analysis of computational techniques taking into account the influence of noncondensing gases on vapor condensation

Abstract

A new approach to calculate the process of vapor condensation from a gas–vapor mixture based on the superposition method is developed. Analytical parametric analysis of the problem is performed, which makes it possible to determine the influence of the governing parameters. A modification of the phenomenological model, which allows one to perform correct calculations in a previously uninvestigated range of high gas contents, is proposed for the first time. The calculation results, experimental data, and results of numerical computations are compared.
