Modeling of Condensation in the Presence of Noncondensables in GFSSPThe Generalized Fluid System Simulation Program (GFSSP) computer code is enhanced with the capability to model condensation in the presence of noncondensable gases. Condensation in the presence of noncondensables is modeled using the Couette flow film (stagnant film) model. Experimental data on the condensation of water vapor in downward flow of air-water vapor and helium-water vapor mixtures in vertical tubes are compared with the predictions of GFSSP. The comparisons show that GFSSP can predict the experimental data well.
