Abstract: Experimental results on steam absorption by an immobile layer of water solution of lithium bromide with additions of surfactant (n-octanol) are presented. The profiles of absorbate (water) temperature and concentration in the solution layer at different moments are presented for the first time. These results are compared with the similar ones, obtained without surfactant. Generation of convection in the near-surface layer is proved by video recording and thermal visual measurements of the moving interface temperature. Copyright , Manchester University Press.
