Mathematical model of conjugated heat and mass transfer in absorption on the entrance region of the semi-infinite liquid film of lithium bromide water solution is investigated for different values of Froude number. The calculations shown that larger values of Froude number corresponds to a smaller thickness of the falling film. It was demonstrated that for large values of the Froude number the heat transfer from the surface is greater than for smaller values.

An analytical solution is presented for the effect of air (nonabsorbable gas) on the heat and mass transfer rates during the absorption of water vapor (absorbate) by a falling laminar film of aqueous lithium bromide (absorbent), an important process in a proposed open-cycle solar absorption cooling system. The analysis was restricted to the entrance region where an analytical solution is possible. The model consists of a falling film of aqueous lithium bromide flowing down a vertical wall which is kept at uniform temperature. The liquid film is in contact with a gas consisting of a mixture of water vapor and air. The gas phase is moving under the influence of the drag from the falling liquid film. The governing equations are written with a set of interfacial and boundary conditions and solved analytically for the two phases. Heat and mass transfer results are presented for a range of uniform inlet air concentrations. It was found that the concentration of the nonabsorbable gas increases sharply at the liquid gas interface. The absorption of the absorbate in the entrance region showed a continuous reduction with an increase in the amount of air.

A mathematical model of heat and mass transfer process in plate falling film absorber with wire-meshed fins was developed. The model could predict temperature and concentration distribution as well as the solution side heat transfer coefficient and the absorption rate. The results verify that heat and mass transfer performance of the plate falling film absorber with wire-meshed fins is better than the past absorber. Compared with the plate falling film absorber without fins, heat transfer coefficient of the absorber in this article increases 1.06 times and the absorption rate increases 2.32 times.

Abstract An experimental study has been performed to investigate the heat and mass transfer performance in a falling film absorber of a domestic small-sized absorption chiller/heater. The components of the chiller/heater were concentrically arranged in a cylindrical form with low temperature generator, an absorber and an evaporator from the center. The arrangement of such a helical-type heat exchanger allows to make the system more compact as compared to a conventional one. As a working fluid, the LiBr+LiI+LiNO3+LiCl solution is used to get improved heat transfer. The heat and mass flux performance of the LiBr+LiI+LiNO3+LiCl solution shows 2 ∼ 5% increase than that of the LiBr solution. When a surfactant in the LiBr+LiI+LiNO3+LiCl solution is used, the performance of heat and mass transfer improves 15 ∼ 20%. This result shows the LiBr+LiI+LiNO3+LiCl solution with a surfactant can be applied to a small-sized absorption chiller/heater.
