Numerical and experimental study of absorption of H2O vapor in wavy falling film of LiBr aqueous solution in vertical tubes and in presence of non-absorbables

One of the main reasons for the discrepancies between theoretical predictions of absorption phenomena made by mathematical models when they are compared against experimental results under real conditions, are the presence of non-absorbable gases. It is well known that these non-absorbable gases insi...
