The present discussion is limited to flhnwise condensation on a few common geometries. There are several comprehensive and specialized references that can be consulted the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook [1] covers an especially wide range of theory and application, while Hewitt et al. [30] and Incropera and DeWitt [31] present good summaries. Collier and Thome [34] cover convective condensation processes.
