Numerical simulation of the behaviour of a distillation cell with influence of the characteristics of the heating wall

Numerical study of evaporation in a vertical annulus heated at the inner wall

“…The average film temperature is considered equal to the interfacial temperature from a result stated by [14,21].…”

“…c sat is the mass fraction of air saturation and P vs is the saturation vapor pressure calculated from the following expression [21] logðP vs Þ ¼ 28:590521 À 8:2logðTÞ þ 2:4804Â10 À3 T À 3142:32 T…”

“…Fahem et al [21] studied heat and mass transfer in three media of the distillation cavity, the heated wall, the liquid falling film and the gas phase. The influence of heated plate conductivity on the production of the cell was investigated.…”

Liquid film evaporation inside an inclined channel: Effect of the presence of a porous layer

“…Cherif et al [5] experimentally studied the natural and forced convection evaporation of a thin liquid film that flows on the inner faces of the plates of a vertical channel. Fahem et al [6] numerically analyzed the heat and mass transfer within a distillation cell. Debbissi et al [7] studied the evaporation of water by free and mixed convection into humid air and superheated steam.…”

Study of falling film evaporation process in a vapor compression desalination system

“…Variation of the plate temperature along the length was a signifi cant factor for this study. Fahem cell [2,3]. The mass fl ux variations in the liquid fi lm and vapor region were presented.…”
