Abstract
The elliptical tube is set as object of the study. From the angles of hydromechanics and heat transfer science, and with technical characteristics of falling film evaporation and seawater desalination of horizontal tubes, the thesis uses theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental study. It researches liquid film flowing outside the elliptical tube, and also heat and mass transfer of the film. Contrastive analysis with circular tube is also conducted. The thesis shall probe into superiority and feasibility when the elliptical tube is applied to falling film evaporation and seawater desalination of horizontal tubes. It conducts exploratory researches for further development of seawater desalination technology in China.
