Abstract
An analytical study of the effects of variable fluid viscosity on film condensation along an inclined surface in a saturated porous medium is reported in this paper. Within the boundary layer approximations, similarity solutions have been obtained for the temperature and flow fields in the condensate. A new parameter is introduced to take into account the dependence of fluid viscosity on temperature. The results obtained have applications in geophysics and petroleum engineering.
