Abstract:Liquid film evaporation is encountered in various applications including in air humidifiers, in multiple effect distillers in thermal desalination, and in absorption cooling evaporators. It is associated with a falling pure, binary or multicomponent liquid film with associated complex and coupled heat and mass transfer processes. This chapter presents important fundamental aspects inherent to falling film evaporation in several geometrical configurations such as on horizontal tubes and inside inclined or verti… Show more
