Abstract The study reports modeling of laminar film condensation of horizontal flat plate with hot vapor film exists above the plate with higher temperature (saturation temperature). In this study mathematical expressions for film thickness, velocity and temperature profile were obtained analytically. Models confirm that velocity and temperature depend on the distance from plate center (x), from plate surface (δ) and depend also on Ra and Ja numbers.
