| 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 film thickness was calculated. When compared with the gas phase resistance method, the film model is better. The phenomenon of SO2 absorption into condensate is illustrated and discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
