Notes:
It has previously been shown that the surface heat transfer resistance from condensing steam to plant tissue containing noncondensable gases is not negligible. This paper presents the analysis of the heat transfer situation and gives a method for estimating the surface heat transfer coefficient. The method was applied to a hypothetical situation and the calculated surface heat transfer coefficient agreed well with previously experimentally determined values. The surface heat transfer coefficient in the presence of noncondensable gases for the situation analyzed varied from approximately 150 to 300 Btu/hr-ftZ−°F.
