TLDR
In this article, an analytical model for the rate of gas absorption into laminar non-wavy film flow on a horizontal rotating disk is obtained assuming short contact times, and it is established that the absorption process in the film on the disk as compared to that in a gravitational wavy flow can be intensified up to 14 times by means of a moderate rotation speed.
Abstract
An analytical model for the rate of gas absorption into laminar non-wavy film flow on a horizontal rotating disk is obtained assuming short contact times. Literature data for the oxygen mass transfer coefficient in a wavy film is correlated by means of the dimensionless numbers deriving from the model. The rate enhancement due to waves is found to vary from 6 to 13 times. It is established that the absorption process in the film on the disk as compared to that in a gravitational wavy film flow can be intensified up to 14 times by means of a moderate rotation speed.
