A review of experimental investigations of absorption of water vapour in liquid films falling over horizontal tubes.

Author(s) : KILLION J. D., GARIMELLA S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This article presents a review of the literature containing experimental results from falling-film absorption of water vapour on horizontal tubes. The effects of surfactant, absorber geometry including advanced tube surfaces, tube diameter and spacing, and operating conditions such as liquid film flow rate and inlet conditions are systematically considered and the results of different investigations compared. Attempting to utilize the results found in the literature for design optimization reveals that the effects of many of these important parameters are not fully quantified and so areas and methods for further research are suggested.
