Paper Title
The Study on Parameters Affecting Performance of Vertical Falling Film Evaporator
Abstract
Evaporation process is a process for removing solvent from solution. This process consumes lots of energy to
change liquid into vapor. Nowadays, the efficient use of energy is main problem for every industry. Falling film evaporators
are solution for solve energy efficiency problem. The advantage of falling film evaporators is on operating with small
temperature difference which means that these evaporators consume less energy than other types of evaporator. This is
because these evaporators has high heat transfer coefficient. However, the evaporators need reliable design for maximum
performance of the evaporator. In this work, authors have reviewed research studies on vertical falling film evaporator and
also investigate the development of correlation for determine heat transfer coefficient.Minimum feed rate for prevent liquid
film breakdown as well as effect of co-flowing vapor and Prandtl number on heat transfer coefficient were studied.
