Abstract

The authors present a numerical investigation of a laminar forced thin film condensation of a saturated vapor along a vertical porous layer. Our study is limited in the liquid medium. To obtain a numerical solution, these problems must be discretized by transforming the differential equations and algebraic equations linearized by a discretization method before solved by direct or iterative methods. We analyze the influence of Prandtl and Froude numbers transfers in the liquid phase
