Heat and mass transfer in wetted-wall columns: I

Abstract

Mass and heat transfer data are reported for humidification of air in a 4.04 cm diameter glass wetted-wall column with height varied between 0.723 m an Data were shown to vary with gas Reynolds number relative to the liquid film. There was a minor effect of liquid flow rate but no height effect was obs Heat transfer data were reported for the adiabatic operation as there was an effect of inlet gas temperature. No end effect was observed under these co
