Question:

Saturated water vapor at atmospheric pressure condenses on the outer surface of a 0.1-m-diameter vertical pipe. The pipe is 1 m long and has a uniform surface temperature of 80°C. Determine the rate of condensation and the heat transfer rate by condensation. Discuss whether the pipe can be treated as a vertical plate. Assume wavy-laminar flow and that the tube diameter is large relative to the thickness of the liquid film at the bottom of the tube. Are these good assumptions?
