Falling film evaporation is a promising technology widely applied in refrigeration,
desalination and beyond applications owing to the great advantages. However, the liquid …

Falling film flow and heat transfer are extensively encountered in various industries of
renewable and sustainable energy due to the outstanding heat transfer performance. The …

Horizontal-tube falling-film evaporator is regarded as an effective alternative to full-liquid
evaporator because of its higher heat transfer coefficient and lower refrigerant charge. In the …

In response to the restrictions of the international community on the utilization of refrigerants
with high GWP, the replacement of high-GWP refrigerants with non-azeotropic refrigerants …

Physical and thermal specifications of seawater are used by researchers and engineers in
different fields. Accordingly, a vast array of literature has been devoted to developing …

The spray film evaporative cooling equipment is useful to circumvent the scaling with
expanded liquid coverage for attaining good thermal performance and energy efficiency …

In this paper, the 2D model of the elliptical tube is established to simulate the film
hydrodynamics and heat transfer performance. The volume of fluid (VOF) is used and the …

Droplet flow pattern widely exists in horizontal-tube falling film evaporators and absorbers
under low Reynolds number, greatly determining heat and mass transfer performance …

Based on the volume of fluid method (VOF), the rising characteristics of bubbles in near-wall
static water are studied. In this study, the influence of the wall on the rising motion of the …

Liquid droplets impacting on rough or structured surfaces occur ubiquitously in nature and
are applicable in many industrial activities. In this study, a 3-D numerical method has been …
