Abstract
A numerical analysis is carried out of the kinetics of nonlinear mass transfer between a gas and a falling liquid film. The nonlinear effect which is considered is the result of intensive mass transfer. Under these conditions the large mass flux induces a secondary flow at the phase interface. The mass transport in both phases takes into account the influence of the intensive mass transfer on the hydrodynamic behavior. An equation is obtained for the rate of absorption is greater than the rate of desorption under conditions of intensive mass transfer.
