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

Click For 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
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

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!

Somewhat separate from the coffee advice of “buy whole beans, grind fresh at home daily”, I'm looking to understand the factors that contribute to purchased ground coffee losing freshness after opening (oxygen, humidity, temperature, time, other?). I'm assuming oxidation is the main factor, assuming normal room temperature and mid-range humidity. It appears (I'm having trouble finding good info on this) that a high quality modern pre-ground coffee is packaged in a way that maintains...
