Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model is presented for studying the convection-condensation of mixture with vapor in a tube with edgefold-twisted-tape inserts under transition flow. According to the diffusion layer theory and laminar species transport, a condensation model with user defined function is proposed and compared with heat and mass transfer analogy and experimental test. With the condensation model, the influences of gap width and op-erating parameters on thermal-hydrodynamics performance are simulated. As the gap width increases, convection and condensation heat transfer increase initially and then decrease, while convection heat transfer increases sharply and then decreases slightly. Increasing vapor fraction has a significant effect on condensation heat transfer but it has little effect on convective heat transfer. With the increase of inner wall temperature both convection and condensa-tion heat transfer all decrease and the ratio of condensation to total heat decrease dramatically. Increases inlet tem-perature mainly affects convection heat transfer.
