Abstract
Experimental data on horizontal tube evaporator-condenser water desalination units agree well with the turbulent model, which covers the whole range of the evaporating film flow rate [1]. The knowledge of the mode of liquid flow between neighboring consecutive tubes in a horizontal bundle is important to the understanding of transport rate characteristics. Drop size, drop detachment frequency and the distance between drop-producing sites at the bottom of the tube were studied as a function of surface tension, tube size and spatial location of the tube in the vertical column in the bundle. Smooth and grooved tubes were examined and the effect of dripping on the mass transfer rates is demonstrated [2].
