Correct answer is (d) Film thickness, velocity, liquid properties

Explanation: Falling film evaporators controls the overall heat transfer coefficient by difference in temperature, thickness of the film, properties of the liquid, velocity across the film layer. These are important design modules which help in high heat transfer rates.
