  • Abstract
    The present paper undertakes an experimental investigation of humidification process by air passing through seawater. The object of this research was to determine the humid air behavior through the humidification process. A test set-up was designed and constructed to carry out and optimize this technique. The process consists of air bubbles passing through seawater situated on a simple basin. The experimental results obtained were used to put stress and correlate the influence of the different operating conditions on the air behavior in the humidification process.
