Abstract: Calcium chloride solution is a cheap desiccant. It is unstable at certain solution concentrations and dehumidified air temperatures. The aim of this research is to stabilize it by mixing with calcium nitrate in different weight combinations. The physical properties of a proposed liquid desiccant such as density, viscosity, and vapor pressure were obtained. Heat and mass transfer analysis between a thin liquid layer of the proposed desiccant and the air flowing through rectangular channel has been studied. The different factors affecting the dehumidification process of air were studied.
