ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for effecting transfer of heat or mass between two fluids through a transfer membrane comprises a conduit for flow of one of the fluids at least partly defined by the membrane. A wall of the conduit is provided with furrows preferably extending obliquely to the general direction of fluid flow through the conduit. Means, preferably comprising a unidirectional pump for providing mean flow and a pulsatile pump for superimposing reciprocatory pulsations on the mean flow, are provided for passing fluid through the conduit in pulsatile flow, so that eddies of the fluid are formed in the hollows provided by the furrows. When the conduit is defined between two predominantly planar surfaces, these surfaces may be separated, along the ridges between the furrows, by discontinuous webs, the openings in which provide communication between adjacent furrows. These features promote mixing of the fluid and its contact with the transfer membrane.
