Surface tension to density ratio is tested using three fluids namely water, ethylene glycol and R-141b. Results show that flooding was strongly effected by changing the condensate flow rate. An increase in flow rate caused a marginal decrease in flooding angle an angle extracted from top of the test tube to the fully flooded flank). Similarly, circumferential pin-spacing also effected the retention angle and the effect goes on increasing by decreasing the surface tension to density ratio. © 2018 Serbian Society of Heat Transfer Engineers. date: 2018 publisher: Serbian Society of Heat Transfer Engineers official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85057091042&doi=10.2298%2fTSCI171129161A&partnerID=40&md5=b2e89d0983f4582cf40f16147a95e31b id_number: 10.2298/TSCI171129161A full_text_status: none publication: Thermal Science volume: 2018 pagerange: 3887-3892 refereed: TRUE issn: 03549836 citation: Ali, H.M. and Ali, H. and Abubaker, M. and Saieed, A. and Pao, W. and Ahmadlouydarab, M. and Koten, H. and Abid, M.
