Abstract In this contribution in honor of Late Prof. E. M. Sparrow, we reflect on the pioneering work of Sparrow and Gregg on the development of similarity solutions for laminar film condensation on a vertical plate. Dhir and Lienhard using this work as a basis developed a generalized solution for isothermal curved surfaces on which gravitational acceleration varied along the surface and for variable gravity situations. Subsequently non-isothermal surfaces were also considered. These studies were publisher earlier in the J. Heat Transfer.

The flow of a uniform stream of pure saturated vapour past a cold, semi-infinite vertical plate is examined. The formulation incorporates the limits of both pure forcedconvection and pure body-force-convection laminar film condensation. Detailed asymptotic and exact numerical solutions are obtained and comparisons drawn with approximate methods and experimental results reported in the literature.
