Condensation Heat Transfer to Rivulets of Condensate on Horizontal tubes

A simple analysis has been made of the condensation of vapor onto rivulets of condensate which are formed by non-wetting narrow Taflon strips circumferencially located in a certain interval on horizontal tubes. Heat transfer to the rivulets increased over $50\%$ above that to the Nusselt uniform thickness film. Results are directly applicable to condenser tubes in large steam condensers.
