Abstract:
Flow of gas in opposite directions through vertical conduits is accelerated by evaporation of heated liquid to decrease the density of the gas entering the lower inlet end of one of the conduits in an upflow direction. Extraction of the liquid vapor from the gas adjacent the upper outlet end of the upflow conduit further accelerates gas flow which is thermally induced by heat exchange between the gas and the heated liquid at the lower outlet end of the downflow conduit.
