This paper presents some results of an experimental investigation of heat transfer in liquid films falling on a horizontal smooth tube performed under still and flowing air conditions. Heat transfer measurements conducted with water and isopropyl alcohol were supplemented by investigations of film breakdown and temperature distributions in axial and circumferential direction of the test tube. Film breakdown was observed to depend mainly on the heat flux, the flow rate, the flow pattern (droplets, columns, sheet), and the physical properties of the liquid. Temperature distributions were affected by the flow pattern. Heat transfer measurements in still air showed satisfactory agreement with some existing correlations. In the case of flowing air, a considerable increase in heat transfer due to evaporation at the film surface was observed.
