Figure 3.7 Humidifier thermal balance flow chart<br />

The chamber geometry design is aimed at higher heat and mass (vapour) transfer rate<br />

from the water to the airflow. The high Nusselt number and mass convection<br />

(evaporation) coefficient are caused by creating turbulent flow, letting air to have a<br />

longer contact with water and trying to avoid airflow shortcuts from chamber inlet<br />

directly to outlet.<br />
