In this zone Z an exchange of heat and / or material between the liquid and a gas is not possible. On the other hand, thanks to the small angle ⁇ , that is to say less than the take-off angle of the liquid, the liquid flows around the edges B2 of the slot F2 and covers the part of the plate located at downstream of this slot. Consequently, an exchange between a gas and liquid takes place at this location.
