COUPLED HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER BETWEEN A FALLING DESICCANT FILM AND AIR IN CROSS-FLOW: PART SB - PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

摘要

A numerical model is used to establish the influences of several independent parameters on the performance of a heat and mass transfer exchanger that has a vertically falling TEG desiccant film and air in cross-flow. The parameters include the air and TEG inlet properties and flow rates, and the heat exchanger geometry. Both absorption and regeneration cases are presented to illustrate the spatial variations of the dependent parameters. The effects on absorber and regenerator performance of the several design and operational parameters are presented parametrically.
