This lecture introduces the concept of condensation, focusing on the process of laminar film condensation on a vertical plate. It covers the heat transfer mechanisms involved, the fluid dynamics, and the key factors influencing the condensation process. The lecture also discusses the different modes of condensation, such as filmwise and dropwise condensation, and the importance of surface conditions in determining the mode of condensation.
