Review on the Liquid Film Evaporation and Condensation
Ahmed Nassif | Abdelaziz Nasr [4]
Abstract: In many applications, including desalination and absorption, separation processes, cooling towers, air conditioning, cooling evaporators and liquid film evaporation and condensation occur. A pure, binary, or multicomponent liquid film and nanofilm is involved, along with complex and coupled heat and mass transfer processes under free, force and mixed convection. The falling film evaporation and condensation in various geometrical configurations, such as on horizontal tubes and inside inclined or vertical tubes or channels, are presented in this study along with significant fundamental characteristics that are intrinsic to those processes. The paper's first section reviews current studies on the heat and mass transfer associated with liquid film evaporation. The review of recent studies on heat and mass transfer with liquid film condensation is the focus of the paper's second section.
Keywords: evaporation, condensation, heat and mass transfer, liquid film, mixed convection, forced convection, mixed convection, thermal desalination, absorption, horizontal tubes
