Horizontal tubes

Horizontal-tube falling film condensers are used in many fields: chemical industries, refrigeration, desalination, cooling, etc. However, their performances cannot be predicted precisely due to the complexity of the phenomena. In this paper, heat and mass transfer in a horizontal-tube falling-film c

In this study, heat transfer of air-water-vapour mixtures in a desalination plant, using the aero-evapocondensation process is studied experimentally. The present process consists in a falling film evaporator and a condenser. The prototype is designed to work at low temperatures (60°C–90°C) using a
