How to Evaluate Film Thickness given Mass Flow of Condensate?

Film Thickness given Mass Flow of Condensate evaluator uses Film Thickness = ((3*Viscosity of Film*Mass Flow Rate)/(Density of Liquid*(Density of Liquid-Density of Vapor)*[g]))^(1/3) to evaluate the Film Thickness, The Film Thickness given Mass Flow of Condensate formula is defined as the function of Viscosity of film, mass flow rate of condensate, density of liquid, density of vapor. In two-phase heat transfer applications that do not contain a wick structure, a thin film of liquid is often present enclosing either partially or completely around the vapor bubbles. Film thickness would be the thickness of this thin layer of liquid. Also, there are applications that only use a thin layer of liquid for heat transfer applications. This used as it is shown to have enhanced heat transfer capabilities in certain applications. Film Thickness is denoted by δ symbol.

How to evaluate Film Thickness given Mass Flow of Condensate using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Film Thickness given Mass Flow of Condensate, enter Viscosity of Film f), Mass Flow Rate (ṁ), Density of Liquid L) & Density of Vapor v) and hit the calculate button.
