Abstract :In this paper, using Fluent computational fluid dynamics program, the condensing water flow rate was numerically estimated calculating the outer surface- heat transfer coefficient  of  the condenser pipe. An user defined function wroten with C++ code was interpreted to Fluent program.  The fluid is water, the flow is single phase, steady state and turbulent. The outer environment is saturated vapour.  This  method; especially, in the experimental studies  thought the  condensing condition, the fact that  the heat transfer coefficient on the pipe’s outer surface and condensate flow rate are predicted numerically and  some probable ideas about the experiment can be discussed  previously  is able to be obtained.
