Abstract

In this paper, the results of an experimental investigation of the distribution of local coefficients of mass transfer on a pipe wall for a flow of a two-phase gas-liquid mixture with a turn of 90° are presented. The mass transfer coefficients were measured by using an electrodiffusion method. It has been shown that the distribution of local mass transfer coefficients on the inner surface of a curvilinear channel is nonuniform both in length and along the perimeter and depends on the content of gas in the two-phase flow.
