Well, that is what my thoughts were until i read this journal:

According to the journal, there is a very strong correlation between condenser efficiency and the angle of the coil due to increased wind velocity.
Hey guys. I am curious about the positioning of condensers. Are there any benefits to using V-style condensers vs horizontal/vertical condensers? Does it affect the flow of condensate inside the tubes? Is there any research done as to what the most optimal degree of slant would be? Any links...
@AWDMIKE, thanks man. I will check it out as soon i get a copy. Hopefully there will be something on this ratio in there.
@robyengIT: thanks for the suggestion, i downloaded the book however it seems to have nothing to do with tank design. I suppose it can be useful if you use the cantilever...
Hey Guys, i am working on designing a rectangular tank. I am using the Pressure Vessel Handbook by Megyesy and also Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain. When determining alpha and beta from the H/L ratio, i am seeing different values for a and b between the PV handbook and Table 11.4 Case 2d...
