    An analytical study is performed for condensation heat transfer with quiescent or very slow vapor inside a horizontal elliptical tube under the simultaneous effects of the surface tension forces and gravity forces on the condensate film. Analytical solutions for both the local condensate film thickness and heat transfer coefficient have been expressed in terms of ellipticity of the cross-section and the reverse Bond numbers.
