How is the Reynolds number defined for film condensate flow down a vertical surface?

What will be an ideal response?


The Reynolds number for flow of condensate down a vertical surface is usually
defined as the ratio of 4 times the condensate mass flow per unit width to the
saturated liquid viscosity. This comes from recognizing that the mass flow per
unit width is the average velocity of the liquid times the saturated liquid density
times the condensate film thickness.
