Abstract
The objective of this work is to study condensation of ammonia/water vapor mixtures used in geothermal binary power plants. This work experimentally investigated the coupled process of heat and mass transfer in film condensation of ammonia/water binary vapor mixtures in forced flow through shell and tube condensers with condensation on the shell side. The experiments were conducted with the test condenser aligned in horizontal orientation. The results of this study provide valuable information to the heat exchanger manufacturers to design the most efficient heat exchangers for application in binary geothermal power plants.
