Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the mathematical description of the process of film condensation of vapors from steam-gas mixtures, taking into account the dependence of the processes of heat transfer and the hydrodynamics of the condensate film. It is established that the presence of an insignificant fraction of non-condensing gases sharply reduces the surface temperature of the condensate film. The numerical experiment has confirmed that the loss of stability of the film and its deceleration are associated with the temperature gradient on its surface. It is established that the influence of non-isothermicity on the characteristics of transfer processes can significantly change their flow mode even with small fluctuations in functional parameters. The influence of temperature on the condensate density leads to a certain increase in the average and local Nusselt numbers. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that the dependence of the condensate density on temperature contributes to an increase in the average and local Nusselt number. This is confirmed by its fundamentally small effect on heat exchange under condensation conditions for liquids in the following range  ~ 10 10   4 2  .
