RT Journal Article ID 7c0b72bd4f5f6ca5 A1 Su, Fengmin A1 Deng, Yangbo A1 Ma, Hongbin T1 ADIABATIC SPRAY ABSORPTION PROCESS IN AN AQUEOUS AMMONIA SOLUTION JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 2013 FD 2013-08-14 VO 44 IS 8 SP 733 OP 743 K1 absorption refrigeration K1 adiabatic spray absorption K1 model K1 ammonia AB Heat and mass transfer of the adiabatic spray absorption process in an aqueous ammonia solution is studied by an improved analytical Newman model. The results show that the maximum absorption time, tmax, is proportional to the square of the droplet radius and the reciprocal of the effective diffusivity, respectively. Decreasing droplet radius or increasing effective diffusivity of ammonia solution can improve the absorbtion rate. Increasing the absorbtion time can increase the absorption mass, MA, but increasing the absorption time will not significantly improve MA after t0/tmax exceeds 0.6. This investigation offers a better understanding of the absorption process occurring in thermally driven absorption refrigeration systems.
