A 2-D numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer in lithium bromide-water falling films and droplets

Vishwanath Subramaniam et al.

Summary: The absorber is a crucial component of vapor absorption systems, with the horizontal tube bank geometry being the most commonly used due to its high absorption efficiencies and minimal pressure drops. This study utilizes a transient, 2-D spatial model to successfully simulate the effects of mixing in the film caused by droplet impact, with lower computational overhead compared to a previous 3-D model. The results will assist in the design of efficient vapor absorption systems.

Summary: This study investigates the performance of falling film grooved plate absorbers integrated in a Lithium Bromide water absorption refrigeration machine, using a heat and mass transfer model. Parameters such as mass efficiency and absorbed vapour mass flow rate are analyzed, and a parametric study considering solution Reynolds number variation is conducted to discuss global and local transfers.
