Abstract: Closed-form expressions are obtained for the condensate's film thickness and flow rate and for the convective heat transfer coefficient. The liquid film thickness is proportional (i) to in a thin porous domain as the permeability K --> [infinity] and (ii) to in a thick porous domain as K --> 0.
