Abstract
Transfer characteristics are presented for a perforated plate‐spray column in which a volatile dispersed phase evaporates while rising in the continuous, counterflowing, immiscible phase. Optimal column heights, volumetric transfer coefficients, holdup, and foam heights are reported as functions of flow rate and temperature approach for a pentane‐water system, A comparison with related studies is presented.Keywords
