The Effects of Pulsatile Flow on Carbon Dioxide Absorption by High Performance Sodasorb.
Abstract
The effects of pulsatile flow on carbon dioxide absorption by high performance Sodasorb was investigated using previously developed methods. This investigation covers both a saturated and dry carrier gas with average linear velocities from about 2 to 20 centimeters per second at a pulse rate of 20 to 110 cycles per minute. A small breathing machine was used to generate the pulsatile flow. Pulsatile flow was found to be more efficient than constant flow with a dry carrier gas. A more complex relationship was observed for a saturated carrier gas; however, the trend was for pulsatile flow to be less efficient at high linear velocities. At low linear velocities, the efficiencies of the pulsatile flow approached that of constant flow (Author).
