MULTICOMPONENT TRANSFER IN A WETTED-WALL COLUMN UNDER CONDITIONS OF HIGH MASS FLUX.

Diffusive interaction between individual species to be absorbed becomes more significant as the concentration of the absorbed gas increases, and tends to enhance mass transfer. This phenomenon, which is greatly complicated by the stronger high mass-flux and the density-driven convection resulting from the higher concentration of the absorbed gas, can be analyzed numerically by the finite-difference method, if variations in the flow rate, the changes in the physical properties with concentration, and the diffusional interaction are properly taken into account.
