Heat transfer coefficient for a vapor condensing as a film on a vertical surface is given by
Show Hint
- Dittus-Boelter equation
- Nusselt theory
- Chilton-Colburn analogy
- Sieder-Tate equation
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
It gives the heat transfer coefficient for laminar condensation by analyzing gravity-driven condensate film thickness and conduction resistance.
Dittus-Boelter, Chilton-Colburn, and Sieder-Tate apply to convection, not condensation.
