TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of the effects of transients and variable properties on single droplet evaporation into an infinite stagnant gas is presented, and it is found that initial size Ro is eliminated from the problem on scaling time with respect to R20 and that the evaporative process becomes quasi-steady with ( R R 0 ) 2 = ( R∗ 0 R 0 ), 2 − βt R 2 0, as suggested by experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general computer program has been developed which solves the finite difference analogue of the conservation equations in boundary layer form for laminar film condensation, and closed form analytical solutions based on the Nusselt assumptions have been extended to include the effect of a nonisothermal condenser wall.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical study of the effects of non-condensable gas and forced flow on laminar film condensation is presented, where the governing conservation equations in the vapor phase were solved numerically by means of a forward marching technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of laminar film condensation of binary vapor mixtures undergoing forced flow down a vertical flat plate is presented, where the conservation equations representing the coupled two-phase flow problem are markedly nonsimilar and were solved numerically using a forward marching technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical investigation of the effects of forced flow, non-condensable gas, and variable thermophysical properties on laminar film condensation of pure and binary vapors at the forward stagnation point of a horizontal cylinder is presented.
