An analysis has been made to determine the heat transfer and friction characteristics in a two-phase (gas-liquid) flow over a circular cylinder. It is demonstrated that the resulting two-layer flow problem can be formulated exactly within the framework of laminar boundary layer theory. Two cases are studied; (1) For the parameter E greater or equal to 0.1 and the drop trajectories straight and, (2) For E less or equal to 0.1 and for any drop trajectory. Solutions obtained in power series include the local liquid-film thickness, velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction and Nusselt number. Numerical results disclose a significant increase in both heat transfer rate and skin friction over those of a pure gas flow. The theoretical prediction compares favorably with experimental results of Acrivos, et al. [1].
