The paper presents an analysis of the mathematical description of the process of film condensation of vapors from steam-gas mixtures, taking into account the dependence of the processes of heat transfer and the hydrodynamics of the condensate film. It is established that the presence of an insignificant fraction of non-condensing gases sharply reduces the surface temperature of the condensate film. The numerical experiment has confirmed that the loss of stability of the film and its deceleration are associated with the temperature gradient on its surface. It is established that the influence of non-isothermicity on the characteristics of transfer processes can significantly change their flow mode even with small fluctuations in functional parameters. The influence of temperature on the condensate density leads to a certain increase in the average and local Nusselt numbers. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that the dependence of the condensate density on temperature contributes to an increase in the average and local Nusselt number. This is confirmed by its fundamentally small effect on heat exchange under condensation conditions for liquids in the following range ~ 10 10 4 2 .
