Non-isothermal desorption and nucleate boiling in a water-salt droplet LiBr

Experimental data on desorption and nucleate boiling in a droplet of LiBr-water solution were obtained. An increase in salt concentration in a liquid-layer leads to a considerable decrease in the rate of desorption. The significant decrease in desorption intensity with a rise of initial mass concentration of salt has been ob-served. Evaporation rate of distillate droplet is constant for a long time period. At nucleate boiling of a water-salt solution of droplet several characteristic re-gimes occur: heating, nucleate boiling, desorption without bubble formation, formation of the solid, thin crystalline-hydrate film on the upper droplet surface, and formation of the ordered crystalline-hydrate structures during the longer time periods. For the final stage of desorption there is a big difference in desorp-tion rate for initial salt concentration, C₀, 11% and 51%. This great difference in the rate of desorption is associated with significantly more thin solution film for C₀ = 11% and higher heat flux.
