Perturbation analysis of condensation controlled by heat transfer on large droplets

Abstract

The governing equations of condensation phenomena controlled by heat transfer on large droplets in a pure vapor are derived. Using the isentropic expansion as the first approximation, the equations are integrated by means of the perturbation method. This method is illustrated by presenting an example. The problem is an important one in the field of steam turbine engineering, although the condensation problem is of more general interest.
