How do I get the Convection Coefficient for steam in a jacketed vessel?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the convection coefficient for steam in a jacketed vessel at 1 bar pressure, it is suggested to use dimensionless numbers as part of the calculation. Resources such as the Engineering Toolbox and Spirax Sarco provide valuable information on convective heat transfer and steam engineering principles. The Chemical Engineer's Handbook by Perry & Chilton, particularly the 5th Edition, contains extensive details on condensing and boiling heat transfer, making it a recommended reference. The latest edition is the 9th Edition, available on Amazon. These resources can guide the calculation of the convection coefficient effectively.

TL;DR Summary
I need to obtain the convection coefficient of the steam in a heating jacket. I have steam at 1 bar and I know the dimensions of the jacket
Please could someone point me in the direction of an equation/ book I can use to obtain the convection coefficient for steam in a heating jacket. Steam is at 1 bar pressure. I think I need to use a dimensionless number. Thanks
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
My 5th Edition of Chemical Engineer's Handbook by Perry & Chilton has several pages on condensing and boiling heat transfer. This book is an excellent resource for people with your type of questions. Amazon has it, and the current edition is apparently the 9th Edition.
 
thankyou to you both!

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
