This report examines the filmwise condensation heat transfer performance of ten sinuous pin fin surfaces fabricated by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The experiments were conducted using steam at low vapour velocity of 0.6 m/s to replicate the assumptions made in Nusselt’s film theory. The sinuous p...
