Abstract

This study is concerned with film condensation onto fins. In this Part I of the study, a solution is developed for a special case: film condensation onto a vertical, longitudinal fin above its support.
Nusselt's hypotheses (with the exception of the one which demands a constant wall temperature), and the usual fin hypothesis ate invoked; this study provides the formulae and the specific information (in form of a Table) which permit the prediction of the behaviour of this fin.
