OSTI ID:5677627
The work was directed towards developing an analytical and physical understanding of the various phenomena, reported in the public literature, that could effect the heat and mass transfer in the absorber of an absorption chiller. Emphasis during this first year of a 3 year study was placed on compiling a comprehensive property data base and doing some simple exploratory experiments. Significant accomplishments this past year include: compilation of the thermophysical properties of aqueous LiBr solutions; compilation of interfacial tension, solubility and vapor pressure for various surfactant candidates; completion of a number of flow visualization experiments using the rotating disk apparatus to investigate solid/liquid interface for aqueous LiBr, aqueous LiBr + n-octanol and aqueous LiBr + hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB); surface tension measurements for aqueous LiBr with and without additives and for solutions of water and n-octanol; flow visualization experiments to observe the surface patterns for a number of aqueous solutions and additions; summary of theories for enhanced heat and mass transfer with additives; and compilation of a falling film bibliography of open literature for (1) experimental measurements for gas absorption by sorbents, (2) numerical and analytical calculations for gas absorption by falling film sorbents and (3) enhanced heat and mass transfer mechanisms.
