A mathematical model of the process of deposition of solid particles on the outer surface of tubes of a finned heat exchanger on condensation of a vapor–gas mixture containing particles has been developed. The model is based on determining the temperature field in a round fin from a given distribution of sediment thickness. The proposed model makes it possible to evaluate the influence of design and thermal parameters on the heat flux removed by a round fin to a cylindrical tube. The influence of changes in such parameters as the fin thickness and thermal conductivity of the sediment layer on heat transfer was assessed.
