  2. Mass transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer_coefficient

    Mass transfer coefficients can be estimated from many different theoretical equations, correlations, and analogies that are functions of material properties, intensive properties and flow regime (laminar or turbulent flow). Selection of the most applicable model is dependent on the materials and the system, or environment, being studied.

  3. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    Here, is the overall mass transfer coefficient, which could be determined by empirical correlations, is the surface area for mass transfer (particularly relevant in membrane-based separations), and ˙ is the mass flowrate of bulk fluid (e.g., mass flowrate of air in an application where water vapor is being separated from the air mixture). At ...

  4. Mass transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer

    Mass transfer is the net movement of mass from one location (usually meaning stream, phase, fraction, or component) to another. Mass transfer occurs in many processes, such as absorption, evaporation, drying, precipitation, membrane filtration, and distillation. Mass transfer is used by different scientific disciplines for different processes ...

  5. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    There are some notable similarities in equations for momentum, energy, and mass transfer [7] which can all be transported by diffusion, as illustrated by the following examples: Mass: the spreading and dissipation of odors in air is an example of mass diffusion. Energy: the conduction of heat in a solid material is an example of heat diffusion.

  6. Chilton and Colburn J-factor analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilton_and_Colburn_J...

    This equation permits the prediction of an unknown transfer coefficient when one of the other coefficients is known. The analogy is valid for fully developed turbulent flow in conduits with Re > 10000, 0.7 < Pr < 160, and tubes where L/d > 60 (the same constraints as the Sieder–Tate correlation). The wider range of data can be correlated by ...

  7. Sherwood number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_number

    The Sherwood number (Sh) (also called the mass transfer Nusselt number) is a dimensionless number used in mass-transfer operation. It represents the ratio of the total mass transfer rate ( convection + diffusion) to the rate of diffusive mass transport, [ 1 ] and is named in honor of Thomas Kilgore Sherwood .

  8. Van Deemter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Deemter_equation

    B = diffusion coefficient of the eluting particles in the longitudinal direction, resulting in dispersion [m 2 s −1] C = Resistance to mass transfer coefficient of the analyte between mobile and stationary phase [s] u = speed [m s −1] In open tubular capillaries, the A term will be zero as the lack of packing means channeling does not occur ...

  9. Butler–Volmer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler–Volmer_equation

    In other words, it assumes that the mass transfer rate is much greater than the reaction rate, and that the reaction is dominated by the slower chemical reaction rate. Despite this limitation, the utility of the Butler–Volmer equation in electrochemistry is wide, and it is often considered to be "central in the phenomenological electrode ...
