In problem 10.12, it was indicated that the Nusselt number for condensation depends on the Prandtl number and four other dimensionless groups including the Jacob number, the Bond number, and a nameless group resembling the Grashof number, ρg (ρl – ρv)L3/μ2. Give a physical explanation of each of these 3 groups and explain when you expect Bo and Ja to exert a significant influence and when their respective influence is negligible.
GIVEN
Three of the dimensionless groups upon which the condensation Nusselt number depends
