A high speed camera was used to investigate the gas-liquid two-phase flow and mass transfer performance of CO2/N2 gas mixture absorption into monoethanolamine (MEA) aqueous solution in a 400 μm×400 μm T-shape microchannel. The pressure drop along the microchannel was determined by a pressure sensor. The effects of the gas and liquid phase flow rates
MEA concentration on the pressure drop
specific surface area and mass transfer performance were investigated experimentally. The results showed that for a given concentration of MEA aqueous solution
the pressure drop
the mass transfer coefficient
the specific interfacial area
the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the enhancement factor increased gradually up to a constant value with increasing gas phase or liquid phase flow rates. With increasing MEA concentration or the pressure drop
the mass transfer coefficient
the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the enhancement factor increased
but the specific interfacial area decreased. Under experimental conditions
the range of pressure drop was 2.00 to 5.23 kPa and the mass transfer coefficient of gas-liquid two-phase flow accompanied with chemical absorption was ranged from 7.74×10-4 to 2.97×10-3 m·s-1. A correlation for predicting the volumetric mass transfer coefficient was proposed by taking Sherwood number
Reynolds number
Schmidt number and the enhancement factor into account. The average deviation of the model was 5.09%
