Numerical study of the effectiveness of a vertical falling plate film absorber for an absorption chiller

This study investigates the impact of design and operating conditions on performance a falling film grooved plate absorbers integrated in Lithium Bromide water absorption refrigeration machine. The component is described using two parameters: mass efficiency absorbed vapour flow rate per unit width. implements heat transfer model validated with specific experimental data. absorber effectiveness proposed by previous studies was generalized so that all absorbers’ could be considered. A parametric considering variation solution Reynolds number conducted. Based these simulations, global local transfers are discussed.
