A plate condenser of dimensions l * b has been designed to be kept with side l in the vertical position. However due to oversight during erection and installation, it was fixed with side b vertical. How would this affect the heat transfer? Assume laminar conditions and same thermos-physical properties and take b = l/2

• A. The condenser should be installed with shorter side horizontal
• B. The condenser should be installed with longer side horizontal
• C. The condenser should be installed with longer side vertical
• D. The condenser should be installed with shorter side vertical
