When superheated vapor enters a condenser, the vapor cannot condense until the sensible heat content is removed in a process called desuperheating. Reports CT-21 and CT-22 present experimental data, discuss the principles of pure components and mixture wet-wall desuperheating, and review available heat transfer models and correlations. These reports also propose...
