HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN FALLING FILMS

Resumo

Absorption chillers have attracted researchers' attention recently because they are environmentally friendly, run on inexpensive or waste sources of energy, and require small electric motors or engines. Heat from waste steam is efficiently converted into refrigeration. One of the main components in the preferred fabrication method of an absorber is the falling film technique. The absorption phenomena on falling films must be understood to develop smaller and cheaper units.
