Abstract

Prediction of the liquid side mass transfer coefficient k1 at vertical liquid flow on the expanded metal packing is based on the penetration model according to Higbie. The experimental value of mass transfer coefficient k1 at absorption of sparingly soluble gases with differing diffusivities in water (propane, carbon dioxide and helium) are in a good agreement with the predicted values in a wide range of linear wetting densities. Interfacial area is determined by the chemical method and is correlated by an empirical relation.
