Notes:
Carbon dioxide was desorbed from water in a packed column mounted on a large centrifuge. By varying the centrifuge rotational speed, the total body force acting upon the liquid was varied from 1 to 6.4 times the normal gravitational force. The results, obtained for ¾ in. Rasching ring packing, showed kLa varying with the body force to a power between 0.41 and 0.48, the exponent being larger at lower liquid flow rates. This effect of gravity is compared with penetration theory predictions and with those inferred from dimensional analysis and the effect of packing size.
