Influence of co-current vapor flow on falling film over horizontal tube by Furqan Tahir (14429547)

“…First, the liquid load is varied between 0.02 and 0.05 kg/(m·s), and its effects on the film thickness and the wetting time are calculated, presented and discussed. Afterwards, the impact of co-current vapor flow on film distribution, wetting time, minimum thickness and its location are quantified and examined by increasing the vapor velocity up to 6 m/s with 2 m/s intervals. …”

Sustainable Detoxification of Methylene Blue in Wastewater via Tea Residue Adsorption: Optimization and Kinetics by Farah F. Salameh (21797300)

“…The impact of various parameters on MB removal was assessed, including solution pH, adsorbent dosage, pollutant concentration, and contact time. Optimal conditions were identified as pH 10, a dosage of 4 g/L, a concentration of 100 mg/L, and a contact time of 2 h, achieving nearly 99% removal efficiency at 25 °C. …”
