Liquid desiccant air-conditioning (LDAC) system is being considered as a promising
alternative to vapor compression refrigeration system owing to its effective temperature and …

Energy-efficient air dehumidification process plays an important role in achieving energy
conservation of air-conditioning systems in buildings. Internally cooled design for liquid …

Low-Re liquid falling film plays an important role in heat and mass transfer applications. Film
instability, manifested as interface waves, and the resulting Marangoni effect determine the …

The large electricity consumption due to the extensive use of vapour compression machines
in the air conditioning and industrial sectors dramatically increases the emissions of …

The fluid flow characteristics, film thickness and heat transfer of falling liquid films over an
array of horizontal tubes are experimentally studied. The effects of the flow rate, the heat flux …

An electrochemical air dehumidification system with polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)
was developed. The system performance under various operating conditions was …

The paper experimentally and numerically investigated the enhancement of LiCl falling film
regeneration performance in a plate type regenerator by adding surfactant polyvinyl …

Dew-point evaporative cooler is widely concerned as a fresh air precooling system, for its
high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection. A mathematical model for a …

The falling film flow pattern and heat/mass transfer severely interact. Considering the
unbalanced forces caused by liquid-gas mass transfer and Marangoni effect, this paper …

Liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems are promising as they can achieve independent
dehumidification. Non-metallic materials, such as plastics, are good internal working plate …
