The characteristics of thin liquid films flowing down a uniformly heated and inclined plane
are investigated, with heat transfer across the wavy films quantified using up-to-date optical …

Thin wavy liquid films are used in many applications as heat and mass transfer promoters
thanks to their great performances for a small liquid consumption. To evaluate the influence …

This study examines wetting behaviour and evaporation heat transfer of a falling liquid film
inside a circular tube carrying grooves at its internal surface. The experiments include five …

In this paper we investigate experimentally and numerically the potential improvement of
heat transfer in falling film units by introducing modifications of the heat transfer surfaces …

Falling film evaporation has been proposed as a promising alternative to traditional pool
boiling heat exchangers due to advantages such as lower pressure drop, heat transfer …

New asymptotic models are formulated to capture the thermal transfer across falling films.
These models enable us to simulate a wide range of Biot and Peclet number values, without …

Implementation of resource-saving technologies can be based on improving the qualitative
characteristics of heat and mass transfer equipment, which is widely used in power …

Starting with an extensive literature review, in this study investigations of the film spreading
of falling films inside smooth and structured tubes are presented in dependence of the tube …

The evolution of three-dimensional waves into thermocapillary-wave structures at heating a
vertically falling water film with Reynolds number of 50 was studied experimentally. A high …

Heat transfer in a large-scale vertical falling film pilot unit is investigated experimentally and
numerically. We study a broad range of operating conditions with Kapitza and Reynolds …
