Direct contact heat transfer with change of phase: Effect of the initial drop size in three-phase heat exchangers
Abstract
The initial drop size of volatile fluids evaporating within immiscible, nonvolatile liquids was experimentally related to the overall heat transfer coefficient in single and multiparticle systems. Coalescence and turbulence diminish the effects of the initial size, which are thus limited to the lower part of the exchanger where single-drop characteristics are maintained. Condensation data of single bubbles are in good agreement with the single-drop relationship.
