♨️ Film Condensation on a Cold Plate — Nusselt Theory

Nusselt laminar film condensation. Water vapour condenses on a cold vertical plate and forms a liquid film that thickens down the plate. Wall subcooling and plate height control the animated film-thickness profile and the heat-transfer-coefficient readout.
