Abstrakt: SYNOPSISA mathematical model of the condensation process from a vapour flowing downwards between two vertical plates of constant wall temperature is presented. With this model it is possible to calculate the condensate film thickness, condensate mass flow, vapour pressure difference, vapour mass flow and condenser heat rate. The case where all the vapour condenses is also considered. It is shown in both cases that as the distance between the plates increases the condenser heat rate decreases.
