Numerical results of falling film absorption with water-ammonia.
Author(s) : WASSENAAR R. H., SEGAL A.
Summary
A model was set up for the heat, mass and momentum transport in a falling film absorber with a binary gas phase. Results are given for water-ammonia and countercurrent gas flow. If the ratio of diffusion to convection is not negligible (here for a gas channel smaller than 5 millimeters), absorption is higher with countercurrent gas flow than with cocurrent flow. For larger gas channels the outcomes from a simpler one-component gas phase model are, if the interface boundary conditions are formulated correctly, almost equal to the outcomes from the presented model.
