A coupled system of two liquid desiccant columns—one dehumidifying the air and the other regenerating the solution—has been investigated for very low solution to air flow ratios (S/A) in the range of 0.2–1.6%. The present study explores the feasibility of integrating the columns with the...

Experimental investigations have been carried out on a glass bubble absorber with swirl entry of air into absorber water column to understand the bubble hydrodynamic characteristics. The swirl motion to the air bubbles is imparted with the help of cavity type swirl generator. Numerical...

An analysis of a metal hydride-based system for simultaneous heat transformation and refrigeration is presented. A six-reactor configuration comprising of three different hydriding alloys has been considered taking account of the coupled heat and mass transfer in the reactors. The influence of...
