文摘A design of a rotating condenser is suggested. The maximum radius under the effect of rotation is estimated analytically .It is found that it decreases with the angular velocity. This in turn increases the rate of sweeping the surface by departing droplets. The appearance of droplets with smaller radii will be predominant.

It is found also that the maximum radius is a function of the distance from the axis of the rotating condenser. Thus the value of the maximum radius under rotation is not unique.
