The present study deals with the numerical analysis of heat transfer inside a lithium bromide solution flowing down between finely meshed plastic wire screens. These screens confine the flow through capillary action while allowing the water vapor transfer inside an innovative absorber technology. The complex menisci shape formed on the confinement grid level, where the surface tension forces are of first importance, are reconstructed by a volume of fluid (VOF) model. A continuum surface force model is used to account for the surface tension force. A static contact angle is used to define the wall adhesion. A new algorithm, consisting to set an unique constant temperature at the liquid/vapour interface and to determine the evolution of heat transfer characteristics over the simulation domain, has been implemented and validated by analytical solutions. A parametric study has been conducted to determine the effect of the inlet velocity and the geometrical parameters (wire diameter and the number of divisions).

Representing surface tension by nonlinear relationship on temperature, the boundary value problem of linear stability differential equation on small perturbation is derived. Under the condition of the isothermal wall the effects of nonlinear surface tension on stability of heat transfer in saturated liquid film of different liquid low boiling point gases are investigated as wall temperature is varied.

Mathematical model of conjugated heat and mass transfer in absorption on the entrance region of the semi-infinite liquid film of lithium bromide water solution is investigated for different values of Froude number. The calculations shown that larger values of Froude number corresponds to a smaller thickness of the falling film. It was demonstrated that for large values of the Froude number the heat transfer from the surface is greater than for smaller values.

Filmwise condensation of a low surface tension fluid (i.e. refrigerant) on microstructured aluminum surfaces is studied to investigate the effect of the structures on condensation heat transfer at low temperature. The hypothesis is that the structures may cause thinning of the condensate film at micro-scales, thus resulting in an enhancement of condensation heat transfer. However, the structures may also decrease the mobility of the condensate near the surface due to increased friction, thus potentially leading to performance deterioration. The aim of this work is to investigate which of the two counteracting mechanisms dominate during filmwise condensation. Condensation experiments are carried out in a low-temperature vacuum chamber. Compared with the Nusselt model of condensation, the microstructured surfaces, either coated or uncoated, show similar performance, with potentially slight enhancement at low subcooling degree and slight deterioration at high subcooling degree. When the microstructured and silane-coated surface is infused with a non-volatile and very low-surface-tension lubricant oil, the lubricant is displaced by the condensate and there is almost no change in the condensation performance. Our results show that, unlike the case of dropwise condensation of high-surface tension fluids, microstructured and coated surfaces with/without infusing oil is not exciting to enhanced filmwise condensation of low-surface-tension fluids.
