In order to clarify the condensation heat transfer mechanism of binary vapors of immiscible liquids, detailed experiments have been conducted with regard to the condensation of an azeotropic mixture of carbon tetrachloride and water on a vertical flat plate. The experimental results indicate that the condensation heat transfer coefficient of the mixture is larger than that of the pure organic vapor, and its mechanism can be explained to be in relation with the dynamic behavior of mixed condensate consisting of water droplets and organic liquid film flow.
