Gas absorption and pressure drop were studied in a fin‐wall conduit; a fin‐wall conduit is a rectangular duct with fins placed on two internal walls perpendicular to the axis of flow. Pressure drop data were obtained with the air‐water system. Gas absorption data were obtained with the air‐ammonia‐water system, and were corrected for the expected liquid‐phase resistance by the use of oxygen desorption data. The pressure drop per transfer unit is on the order of 0.05 in. of water per transfer unit.
