Abstract

The theoretical analysis of filmwise condensation outside a finite-size horizontal flat surface embedded in a porous medium filled with a dry saturated vapor has been solved by a boundary layer treatment. The Newton–Raphson scheme was employed to solve the finite-size horizontal flat plate in porous medium. Results turns out that the average Nusselt number for condensation heat transfer is expressed in terms of Darcy number, Jakob number, film liquid Prandtl number, Darcy-modified Rayleigh number and the parameter of suction, as well as are given for the condensate layer thickness profiles.
