The thickness of condensate layer in filmwise condensation depends on the__________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Condensation rate
- B. Surface configuration
- C. Liquid flow rate from the surface
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
The condensate-film thickness is governed by the condensate flow produced by condensation and by the surface geometry, such as a vertical wall or horizontal tube. Thus all three listed factors can affect the film thickness.
