“…Since Comings' study (1948) on the heat transfer in a venturi scrubber many studies on the venturi-tvpe scrubbers have appeared in the literature (Anderson and Johnstone, 1955;Boyadzhiev, 1964;Elenkov and Boyadzhiev, 1967;Feild, 1950;Gleason, 1971;Harris, 1971;Johnstone, et al, 1954;Johnstone and Robert, 1949; Kuznetsov and Oratovskii, 1962;Markant, et al 1962;Tassler, 1952;Volgin, et al 1968). Johnstone and Robert (1949), Feild (1950), and Johnstone, et al (1954), investigated the absorption of sulfur dioxide in water and alkaline solutions and measured the amount of sulfur dioxide absorbed in the liquid at various distances from the point of liquid injection in a venturi scrubber.…”
