This is a lot of good work, Alan. I am amazed at the number of high
quality posts on Vortex. I am having trouble keeping up because each
post warrants a good deal of thought.
I examined pictures of the manifold and created a diagram to capture the
important features. [I made a small .png
Maybe you have an error with your simulation since the number does not seem to
match the real world results. What kind of flow did you assume in the primary?
I think that vapor condensation is where the most action is since that takes
so much more energy than cooling the hot condensed

water-copper-air is 13.1 (W/m2 K)
steam-copper-air is 17
And for flowing water/steam, I think that the MASS flow is what
counts, not the volume flow, so there isn't a big transferdifference
between the two.
There is a problem with you simulation, in my opinion. The number of cells
in your model increases linearly with the distance from the flow. But it
increases linearly because your model is 2D. If it were a 3D model, the
number of cells would increase by the square of the distance, and the
am sure you can get it resolved.

the fact that the steam is condensing and not just loosing heat slowly
along the entire distance.
The manifold section of pipe is very short compared to the length of the

Well, are you sure? If you see the object in 3D, the object is
not symmetrical, so, it is not a matter of just increasing the radial
value.
