Abstract
The problem of transient film condensation over a vertical surface has been solved by means of an integral method considering non-Darcian effects in the liquid layer. An exact solution for the steady state film condensation is also presented for comparison. The present analytical study reveals that the time required for the steady state increases, while the surface heat transfer rate decreases, as the non-Darcy porous inertia effects become significant.
