Abstract

This study treats the theoretical and experimental aspects of the basic mechanism of bubble growth, or collapse, and the time dependency of the heat transfer coefficients in three-phase exchangers in which freely rising volatile fluid particles evaporate or condense in another immiscible liquid. The derived relationship provides the hitherto unknown means for correlating experimental data. The derivation also yields an acceptable upper bound solution for the total process time, and substantiates the postulated liquid-liquid heat transfer mechanism at the bottom of the drop. Condensation studies with a high-speed cine camera confirm this assumption for most of the condensation process. A time-averaged practical correlation is suggested.
