The steady three-dimensional flow of condensation or spraying on inclined spinning disk is studied analytically. The governing nonlinear equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The series solution of the problem is obtained by utilizing the homotopy perturbation method HPM. The velocity and temperature profiles are shown and the influence of Prandtl number on the heat transfer and Nusselt number is discussed in detail. The validity of our solutions is verified by the numerical results. Unlike free surface flows on an incline, this through flow is highly affected by the spray rate and the rotation of the disk. 1. Introduction The removal of a condensate liquid from a cooled, saturated vapor is important in engi- neering processes. Sparrow and Gregg 1 considered the removal of the condensate using centrifugal forces on a cooled rotating disk. Following von Karman’s 2 study of a rotating disk in an infinite fluid, Sparrow and Gregg transformed the
