Abstract
The objective of this paper is to identify, summarize, and review the experimental studies dealing with the enhancement of vapour absorption processes in absorbers by means of passive techniques i.e. advanced surface designs and the use of additives and nanofluids. This review also includes an exhaustive and detailed scrutiny on absorption processes in falling film, spray and bubble mode absorbers for different working fluids, evidencing the experimenting techniques, operating conditions, and latest advances in terms of heat and mass transfer enhancement in absorbers. Finally, the paper contains suggestions for future work to be carried out to obtain mass transfer enhancement in absorbers and absorption cooling/heating systems.
