Notes:
Results of a theoretical and experimental study of the thermal dynamics of a distributed parameter nonadiabatic humidification process are presented. A wetted-wall column was selected for study to ensure standard and reproducible velocity profiles and a definable area for heat and mass transfer. Four mathematical models which consider various heat and mass transfer. Four mathematical models which consider various heat and mass transfer effects were derived in the time domain and solved in the frequency domain. All models, including a simple model previously tested for the adiabatic humidification case, were in good agreement with experimental results obtained by pulse testing.
