✦ Synopsis

The simultaneous heat and mass transfer process durmg condensation of a bmary vapour mixture m the presence of a non-condensable gas 1s analysed usmg matnx formulations of the interfacial mass transfer rate relations A lihn model for multlcomponent mass transfer based on an exact solution to the Maxwell-Stefan equations 1s used to calculate the mass transfer coefficients m the ternary vapour phase With the sud of a computational example mvolvmg condensation of methanol and water vapours m the presence of au, It IS demonstrated that dIffusional interactions can sgmficantly affect condensahon rates lNTRODUC!TION
