A numerical analysis is made of heat and mass transfer from horizontal circular cylinders in a downward flow of air/water mist of polydisperse droplets, taking into account the far-upstream droplet size distribution and the blockage effect of the gas phase flow. The effects of the droplet size distribution, temperatures, and liquid-to-gas mass flow ratio upon the liquid film thickness and wall shear stress, velocity, and temperature of the air-water interface, two-phase Nusselt numbers, etc., are examined.
