This paper reports an analytical study of the second law in the case of gas absorption into a laminar falling viscous incompressible liquid film. Velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are determined and used for the entropy generation calculation. Irreversibilities due to heat transfer, fluid friction, and coupling effects between heat and mass transfer are derived. The obtained results show that entropy generation is mainly due to coupling effects between heat and mass transfer near the gas-liquid interface. Total irreversibility is minimum at the diffusion film thickness. On approaching the liquid film thickness, entropy generation is mainly due to viscous irreversibility.

The problem of heat and mass transfer in a liquid film of a nonlinearly viscous fluid flowing down the surface of a body of revolution under the influence of gravity is considered. The axis of the body is located at a certain angle to the vertical, and the film of liquid flows down from its top. It is assumed that the thermal and diffusion Prandtl numbers are large and the main changes in the temperature and diffusion fields occur in thin boundary layers near the solid wall and near the free surface separating the liquid and gas. A curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system (ξ, η, ζ) connected with the surface of the body is introduced. To describe the flow of a liquid film, a model of a viscous incompressible liquid is used, which is based on differential equations in partial derivatives - the equations of motion and continuity. As boundary conditions, the conditions of adhesion are used on the surface of a solid body, as well as the conditions of continuity of stresses and the normal component of the velocity vector - on the surface separating the liquid and gas. To simulate heat and mass transfer in a liquid film, the equations of thermal and diffusion boundary layers with boundary conditions of the first and second kind are used. To close the system of differential equations, the Ostwald-de-Ville rheological model is used. To simplify the system of differential equations, the small parameter method is used, in which the relative film thickness is selected. It is assumed that the generalized Reynolds number is of the order of unity. The solution of the equations of continuity and motion (taking into account the main terms of the expansion) is obtained in an analytical form. To determine the unknown film thickness, an initial-boundary-value problem is formulated for a first-order partial differential equation. The solution to this problem is found numerically using a running count difference scheme. To reduce the dimension of the problem for the equations of the boundary layer, the local similarity method is used. To integrate simplified equations, the finite-difference method is used.

The paper presents results obtained by processing a series of published experimental data on heat and mass transfer during evaporation of pure liquids from the free board of a liquid film into the turbulent gas phone. The data has been processed on the basis of the earlier theory of mechanism of heat and mass transfer. In spite of the fact that this process exhibits a strong Stefan's flow, the results indicate that with a proper definition of the driving forces the agreement between theory and experiment is very good.
