Condensation from a vapor-gas mixture

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A review of the possible approaches to calculation of vapor condensation from a binary vapor-gas mixture on a surface is presented. Emphasis is paid to justification of the application of molecular-kinetic theory methods for calculation of applied problems. Quantitative estimates for the parameters of the existence in principle of the regimes of one-dimensional stationary condensation are given.
