What controls the overall heat transfer coefficient in falling film evaporators? Correct Answer Film thickness, velocity, liquid properties

Falling film evaporators controls the overall heat transfer coefficient by difference in temperature, thickness of the film, properties of the liquid, velocity across the film layer. These are important design modules which help in high heat transfer rates.
