Summary

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS TO OBTAIN BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PROCESSES IN THE ABSORBER, AS AFFECTED BY MARANGONI CONVECTION INDUCED BY SURFACTANT ADDITION. THE AUTHORS APPLY A NON-FLOWING BULK ABSORPTION MODEL AND ASSUME THAT A DROPWISE SURFACTANT IS FIXED ON THE ABSORBENT SURFC. THE INFLUENCE OF THE ABSORBENT-SOLUTION DEPTH ON THE OCCURRENCE OF MARANGONI CONVECTION IS QUANTIFIED IN TERMS OF A MEAN SHERWOOD NUMBER AND A MEAN NUSSELT NUMBER FOR SEVERAL VALUES OF THE ASPECT RATIO.
