Condensation heat and mass transfer to a liquid drop moving in a mixture of saturated vapor and a noncondensable have been evaluated. The Reynolds number of the drop motion is 0(100). The quasi-steady, coupled, boundary layer equations for the flow field and the transport in the gaseous phase are simultaneously solved. The heat transport inside the drop is treated as a transient process. Results are presented for the heat and mass transport rates to the drop, the surface shear stress, the velocity profiles across the boundary layer, and the temperature-time history of the drop. The comparisons of results with experimental data, where available, show excellent agreement. Tables summarizing results appropriate to a wide range of condensation rates have been included. Local heat and mass transfer rates have also been presented. These features will make the paper useful to the designer of direct contact heat transfer equipment.

An air conditioning system based on a direct contact heat and mass transfer process between water and air may offer benefits such as increased energy efficiency, temperature and humidity control, and improved indoor air quality. To investigate the feasibility of this type of technology, a numeric model is used to study the heat and mass transfer between a single droplet and moist air to gain fundamental insight into the heat and mass transfer process. Further, preliminary experiments are performed in a low speed temperature and humidity controlled wind tunnel to validate some of the models findings, e.g. the effect of droplet size on heat and mass transfer. A case study is presented to investigate how such a system would operate in a hot, dry climate as well as a hot and humid climate.

The design of cooling and dehumidification towers is important for many process industries. This paper reports the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation on the direct contact heat and mass transfer characteristics of water droplets in counter-current flow through a water vapour-air mixture which simulates the stream to be dehumidified. The range of temperatures and dew points studied was 250–410°F and 85–112°F respectively. The effect of parameters such as contact path length, water droplet to water vapour-air mass ratios, droplet diameter, and entrainment are studied. The experimental information is then utilized in the design of a dehumidification tower.
