The available literature on hydrodynamics and heat transfer in thin film scraped surface heat exchangers was reviewed and arranged in concise form. the hydrodynamics covers fluid flow, residence time distribution, power consumption and film thickness. In heat transfer, sensible heating and evaporation aspects are explored. the constraints of various mathematical models are explained. the problems needing further investigation are also delineated.
