Hydrodynamics and mass exchange in a rotary apparatus

Results of an experimental study of carbon dioxide desorption from water in a rotary apparatus are presented. The manner in which the volume mass-transfer coefficient in the fluid phase and the efficiency of mass transfer vary with a number of mode parameters was determined. Analytical dependences for calculating the hydraulic resistance and the rotor drive power were derived. These dependences will allow development of a procedure for engineering calculations of apparatus of this type.
