In 1916 Nusselt derived a theoretical relation for predicting the coefficient of heat transfer between a pure saturated vapor and a colder surface:
where h is the mean heat transfer coefficient, Btu/[ (hr) (ft2) (°F) ]
k is the thermal conductivity, Btu/[(hr)(ft)(°F)]
ρ is the density in lb/ft3
g is the acceleration of gravity, 4.17 × 108 ft/(hr)2
λ is the enthalpy change of evaporation in Btu/lb
L is the length of tube in ft
m is the viscosity in lbm/[ (hr) (ft) ]
ΔT is a temperature difference in °F
