The results were satisfactory, however adjusting the values by linear regression. Although, it presents the following drawbacks: 1) the formulation is only valid for the specific range of data for what it was created; 2) it does not allow the analytical evaluation of the heat transfer coefficient from the extension equation. This paper proposes a new formulation for the calculation of the mass flux, in such a way to remove both of these drawbacks.96-111openAccesswater vaporvapor jet ejectorssteam jet ejectorsreynolds numberheat transfervapor condensationboilingArtigo de periódico2910.4236/wjnst.2019.920070000-0002-6689-3011https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2445-12980000-0003-0263-35410000-0003-2445-1298https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6689-3011https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0263-3541Sem PercentilSem Percentil CiteScore
