Wetted Wall Column.
Wetted Wall Column
The set up consists of a glass column. Water is fed at the top of the
column along the walls to make the column a wetted wall column. Hot air
from heating chamber with known humidity is allowed to pass through the
column vertically upward and evaporation in the liquid film around the
wall takes place. The flow rates of water and air can be independently
varied to simulate different conditions. Instrumentation is provided to
measure the dry and wet bulb temperatures at air inlet and outlet.
EXPERIMENTATION:
To determine the gas film coefficient in a wetted wall column using air-water
system.
To find the mass transfer coefficient
