Abstract
A review of literature correlations for flooding in a reflex condenser show s two dominant mechanisms; wave transport and droplet entrainment. Some met hods cover only one mechanism, and there is significiant disagreement among existing methods. A new method is proposed, combining the two mechanisms u sing an asymptotic proration.
