Condensation occurs when a saturated or superheated vapor – pure or multi-component – comes into contact with an object, such as a wall or other contaminant, that has a temperature below the saturation temperature.
- Dropwise condensation formation theories, critical droplet radius, thermal resistances, and heat transfer coefficient.
- Regimes, governing equations for a binary vapor mixture, stagnant pure vapor reservoir, effects of vapor motion, turbulent film condensation, cylinders and spheres, and effects of noncondensable gas.
Basics, [[dropwise condensation, filmwise condensation, vertical plate, cylinder and sphere, nongravitational condensate removal, and film condensation in porous media.
