Abstract
The theoretical approach to filmwise condensation on a horizontal cylinder occurring under the influence of gravity and surface tension forces has been presented. In the present analysis the changes of dimensionless film thickness along the peripheral position are described by a nonlinear second-order differential equation. In the limiting case, when a certain dimensionless parameter tends to zero, the results obtained are identical with Nusselt's classical solution. The numerical integration of this equation for different values of this parameter leads to the Nusselt-type formula for the local film thickness. Local and mean heat transfer coefficients can be found.
