Abstract
This work presents a unique and unified formulation to solve the laminar film condensation two-phase boundary layer equations for the free, mixed, and forced convection regimes in the absence or presence of noncondensables. This solution explores the vast space of mixed convection across the four cornerstones of laminar film condensation boundary layer theory, two established by Koh for pure vapor condensation in the free or forced convection regimes and the other two established by Sparrow corresponding to condensation with noncondensables. This formulation solves the space of mixed convection completely with Koh and Sparrow’s solutions shown to be merely four specific cases of the current solution.
