“…The enhancement in the mass transfer rate at the inlet is likely due to the acceleration of the flow on the inner wall. The acceleration as the flow enters the bend is due to the reduced pressure near the wall to keep the flow from separating, similar to what is seen at lower distribution for (a) Jv=30.2mls, JL = 0.^7, 0.28, and 0.41 m/s and (b) JL = 0.28 m/s, J^ = 22, 24.5, and 29.5 m/s void fractions [12]. Here, though, it only occurs in the film rather than across the full flow.…”
