## Abstract There have been a number of experimental investigations on condensing heat transfer to cryogenic fluids. The investigations with nitrogen and oxygen have shown reasonable agreement between experimental data and those predicted by Nusselt's theory. On the other hand, in the previous inve

β¦ Synopsis
Helium was condensed on the wall of a vertical copper tube (14 mm in diameter, 32 mm long) in the experimental range: vapour temperature in the tube -4. 1-5.0 K; heat flux -0.5-86 mW cm-2; temperature differences across a liquid film -0.01-1.3 K; film Reynolds numbers -3-380. It was found that the heat flux increased linearly with the film temperature difference, yielding a constant heat transfer coefficient of about 0.065 W cm -2 K -~. The discrepancy between the experimental results and the laminar condensation theory is also considered.

## Abstract This paper discusses the convective condensation of a gas mixture in a vertical tube. A mathematical model was derived by combining a modified film model and Nusselt's condensation theory. The effect of wall temperature on film thickness and interfacial temperature was predicted and fil
