The evaporation of a saturated porous layer inside an inclined airflow channel

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

“…Fig. 2 shows good agreement between our results and those of Yin Chou [21], as the relative difference is less than 3%.…”

“…Comparison of our results with those published by Yin Chou[21]: Variation of the dimensionless temperature (a) and the dimensionless concentration (b) at the liquid gas interface according to the dimensionless length (Re g ¼ 500, ε ¼ 0:4, d ¼ 0.2).…”

“…We compared our results to those found in the literature by Yin Chou [21] for an imposed constant temperature T ¼ T w at the wet plate. The other plate is thermally insulated.…”

“…Few studies have theoretically examined the effect of the presence of a porous medium during evaporation [20,21]. Part of the reason for this is that the coupled heat and mass transfer process in the presence of such medium becomes more complicated.…”

Experimental Research of Heat Transfer in Cooling Tower

“…Another group of models is based on the numerical study of system continuity, momentum, energy and concentration equations for air and water film [11,12,13,14] at concurrent water-air flow. This group of models allows calculating values of the heat and mass transfer coefficients, but deviation between numerical and experimental results for this group of models is up to 33%.…”
