Abstract
The knowledge of the mode of liquid flow between neighboring consecutive tubes in a horizontal tube bundle is important to the understanding of transport rate characteristics. Drop size, drop detachment frequency and the distance between drop-producing sites at the bottom of the tube were studied as a function of surface tension, tube size and spatial location of the tube in the vertical column in the bundle. Comparison between smooth and grooved tubes is reported. The effect of dripping on the (mass) transfer rates is demonstrated. The study also reveals a hysteresis-type phenomenon which is associated with the direction of flow rate increments.
