Abstract The agitated thin film evaporator (ATFE), which is known for its high efficiency, force the material to form a film through the scraping process of a scraper, followed by evaporation and purification. The complex shape of the liquid film inside the evaporator can significantly affect its evaporation capability. This work explores how change in shape of the liquid films affect the evaporation of the materials with non-Newtonian characteristics, achieved by changing the structure of the scraper. Examining the distribution of circumferential temperature, viscosity, and mass transfer of the flat liquid film shows that the film evaporates rapidly in shear-thinning region. Various wavy liquid films are developed by using shear-thinning theory, emphasizing the flow condition in the thinning area and the factors contributing to the exceptional evaporation capability. Further exploration is conducted on the spread patterns of the wavy liquid film and flat liquid film on the evaporation wall throughout the process. It is noted that breaking the wavy liquid film on the evaporating wall during evaporation is challenging due to its film-forming condition. For which the fundamental causes are demonstrated by acquiring the data regarding the flow rate and temperature of the liquid film. The definitive findings of the analysis reveal a significant improvement in the evaporation capability of the wavy liquid film. This enhancement is attributed to increasing the shear-thinning areas and maintaining the overall shape of the film throughout the entire evaporation process.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
