HEAT-AND-MASS TRANSFER DURING EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATION IN THE ROTARY DISTILLER OF A SYSTEM FOR WATER RECLAMATION FROM URINE FOR SPACE STATIONS

摘要

This paper analyzes the factors influencing the rate of heat-and-mass transfer during evaporation and condensationin a rotary multistage vacuum distiller. It is shown that the most influence is exerted by the content ofnoncondensable gases in the distiller condensate collection chamber.
