abstract = "The non-dimensional entropy generation number for condensation of a pure vapor in the presence of a noncondensable gas is derived for a counter-type shell and one-pass tube condenser. It is shown that the entropy number related to sensible heat exchange is a function of the non-dimensional heat capacity and temperature. The dominant source of entropy production is due to the total heat exchange between condensate and coolant. The resulting entropy profiles are determined form a numerical solution algorithm, which shows that increasing the air mass flow rate causes a decrease of the entropy production. Additionally, a correlation is presented for the entropy number, in terms of a new parameter called the condensation effectiveness.",
