Abstract: In order to investigate the influence of various parameters in the steam condensation heat transfer process with non-condensable gas, and to get a more suitable empirical correlation, the wall under-cooling, pressure and the content of non-condensable gas were studied outside a vertical tube by experiments. The results showed that: at the same pressure, the relationship between wall sub-cooling and HTC is exponential, and helium stratification does not happen within the experimental range. Based on the analysis of various experimental variables, combined with a large number of experimental data, a wider scope of application of the empirical correlation associated is obtained with the experimental value of the error within ±20%.
