In particular, the simulation of a H2O-BrLi absorber using porous fibers for the heat and mass transfer between the solution and the vapor phase is considered in the present work. Heat and mass transfer process are modeled by means of selected correlations and data gathered from the open literature. Using the model developed, a simulation of the absorber is performed using typical operating conditions of absorption cooling chillers.13application/pdfeng© American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE) 2015Absorption refrigerationMembranesHeat and mass transferMiniaturizationModelingAbsorberconference proceedingsIngeniería Industrialopen accessFirst Thermal and Fluids Engineering Summer ConferenceCC/0000024424
