Research on the Coupling Relations of the Possible Factors Affecting Ammonia Nanofluid Bubbling Absorption

Abstract:

Bubbling absorption experiments of ammonia water(NH3/H2O) solution added with FeO nano-particles were carried out in some conditions. The results showed that the absorption effect of the ammonia-water solution with the nano-particles was improved. The several key factors affecting the absorption process, such as preparing of nanofluid, absorption pressure, solution temperature and the flow rate of cooling water, were also analyzed, repectively, and finally it was pointed out that there exist certain possible coupling relations between these influencing factors.
