✦ Synopsis

The absorption of gases into drops is of great importance to many fields, including scrubber and atmospheric systems. Some experimental works on this subject have been reported. Garner and Lane (1959), in their study on the absorption of C 0 2 into water drops using two drop diameters, 0.422 and 0.585 cm, found that absorption rates were greater than those predicted by the fully circulation model of Kronig and Brink (1950). Kaji et al. (1985) measured the liquid-phase physical mass-transfer coefficient for SO2 absorption by pure water drops of 0.22 cm diameter. They found that the coefficients
