Falling film

Horizontal-tube falling film condensers are used in many fields: chemical industries, refrigeration, desalination, cooling, etc. However, their performances cannot be predicted precisely due to the complexity of the phenomena. In this paper, heat and mass transfer in a horizontal-tube falling-film c

A test rig was designed and fabricated in this project to study the heat transfer of falling film flow on a doubly fluted plate. Parametric studies were performed to test the thermal performance based on the measured data. The effects of the temperature difference and feed water flow rate were studi

In this study, heat transfer of air-water-vapour mixtures in a desalination plant, using the aero-evapocondensation process is studied experimentally. The present process consists in a falling film evaporator and a condenser. The prototype is designed to work at low temperatures (60°C–90°C) using a
