Abstract

The problem of condensation of pure vapor on turbulent falling liquid film of the same species is analytically solved. The gradual change in enthalpy of the coolant liquid film in the flow direction is considered to take place in three successive stages. The study brings out the influence of inlet Reynolds number, Prandtl number and degree of subcooling of the coolant on condensation heat transfer coefficients. The heat transfer coefficients predicted from the theoretical analysis are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data available in literature.
