“…Regarding experimental work on heat and mass transfer in channels, Ben Jabrallah et al [3,5] performed an experimental and numerical study of heat and mass transfer involved in the evaporation of a water liquid film falling along one wall of a closed rectangular cavity filled with air. This wall is heated by a uniform heat flux and the opposite one is cooled and maintained at uniform temperature.…”

To investigate the performance of the heat and mass transfer of ammonia water during the process of falling film evaporation in vertical tube evaporator, a mathematical model of evaporation process was developed and solved based on stream function. Then an experimental study of falling film evaporation was carried out in order to validate the mathematical model. A series of parameters, such as velocity, film thickness and concentration, etc., were obtained from the mathematical model. The calculated results show that the average velocity and the film thickness change sharp at the entrance region when x \ 100 mm, while they vary slightly in the fully developed region when x [ 100 mm. The film thickness depends largely on the flow rate of solution. It is observed that the heating power and mass flow of solution significantly affect the concentration difference between the inlet and outlet of evaporation tube. The calculated results reveal that the tube length has a significant impact on the amounts of ammonia vapor evaporated. It is suggested that the roll-worked enhanced tube should be used in order to decrease the concentration gradient in the film thickness direction and enhance the heat and mass transfer rate. Furthermore, the experimental and calculated results indicate that the inlet solution concentration has a great influence on the heat exchange capacity, the amounts of ammonia vapor evaporated and the evaporation pressure.

“…The study reported the effect of liquid film characteristics on the heat and mass transfer and observed that the interfacial heat flux may take higher values than the imposed heat flux. A description of convective heat and mass transfer of falling liquid film evaporation in a cavity was reported by Ben Jabrallah et al [11]. It is shown that intensification of heat and mass transfer occurs with lower feed mass flow rate.…”

A numerical study of mixed convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical channel with a wavy wall is performed. The wavy wall is heated by a constant flux, while the other is adiabatic. The discretisation of equations in both liquid and gas phases is realised using an implicit finite difference scheme. Results of simulation compare the effect of multiple parameters, especially amplitude and characteristic length of the curve, on the liquid film evaporation process. The results indicate that heat and mass transfer is enhanced by increasing the amplitude and number of wall waves. Moreover, a very small value of waves amplitude of the wall may reduce the sensible heat and mass transfer.
