Steam at 100oC is condensing on a vertical steel plate. The condensate flow is laminar. The average Nusselt numbers are Nu1 and Nu2, when the plate temperatures are 10oC and 55oC, respectively. Assume the physical properties of the fluid and steel to remain constant within the temperature range of interest. Using Nusselt equations for film-type condensation, what is the value of the ratio Nu2/Nu1?
A
(A) 0.5
B
(B) 0.84
C
(C) 1.19
D
(D) 1.41

Correct : c
