O-LiB in an absorption refrigeration system. The results show that the solvation number m
water molecules arrested in ionic clusters
increases with the increases of the original mole concentration of LiBr and then decreases slightly when the mole concentration is higher than 0.13. The solvation number n
ammonia molecules arrested in ionic clusters
decreases in the whole range. Moreover
m>n when the mole concentration is greater than 0.03. In addition
the mole concentration of water after salv
ation is also higher than that before solvation
but their value difference decreases significantly with the increase of the original mole concentration of LiBr. Large difference between the results obtained by the completely ionization solvation model and the partial ionization one occurs when the original concentration of LiBr surpassed 0.1.
