The bulk temperature of the condensate lies between 1.ao and 1.

and subcoolcd. TI1is subcooling is not desired as it increases the heat supply
in the boiler. By making some exhaust steam flow upward through the condensate
its temperature is increased. Nussehs e!uation gi"es only a conser"ati"e "alue for
the condensing film coefficient of heat transfer, which i also influenced by "apour

The inside heat transfer coefficient on the water side may be obtained with the
