Heat-mass transfer efficiency within the cooling towers with jet-film contact devices

Abstract

Jet-film contact devices with special design elements for intensification of heat-mass transfer processes are proposed. An experimental apparatus has been created in order to study the interaction of water and air flows within these devices. It has been revealed that an increase in the ratio of mass flow rate of liquid and gas phases leads to a decrease in heat efficiency coefficient. Within the area of high values of specific loads, an increase in the local minimum of mass transfer efficiency is observed.
