Abstract
Develops a fine element method employing Galerkin’s approach for the analysis of a vertical tubular bubble absorber working with R22‐DMF as working fluid. Aims to provide an understanding of the absorption process which helps in the design of bubble absorbers. Numerical experiments have also been carried out with ammonia‐water combination for the sake of comparison with the results in the literature and the agreement is found to be good. Suggests a correlation for mass transfer coefficient for vertical tubular bubble absorbers working with R22‐DMF. The use of the correlation can either be in estimating the mass transfer rates, or in fixing up the major design parameters such as diameter and length required for complete absorption.
