Summary

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY IS PRESENTED OF THE CONDENSATION OF A PURE SATURATED VAPOUR ON A COOLED CHANNEL PLATE, INCLUDING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE COOLING LIQUID, THE CONDENSATE AND THE VAPOUR. THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS OF CO-, COUNTER-AND CROSS-CURRENT CONDENSATION ARE DERIVED, SET DIMENSIONLESS AND SOLVED IN CLOSED FORM. RESULTS FOR CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER ARE OBTAINED FOR A BROAD RANGE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC DIMENSIONLESS NUMBERS OF THE PROCESS: THE MCADAM NUMBER AND THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER UNITS.
