Abstract
A theoretically derived relationship has been applied for the gas-side mass transfer coefficient to experimental values of kG. The experimental data have been obtained under the two-phase flow of gas and liquid in a plane vertical packing manufactured of the expanded metal sheet. This packing exhibits a significant dependence of the extent of interfacial area, and hence the geometry of the channel available for gas flow, on the density of irrigation.
