Mass transfer by diffusion is the third area of transport phenomena. Mass transfer is most important in the purification of process fluids; that is, a desired product or an undesired contaminant is transferred from one phase of a system to another phase. For instance, a desired product may be boiled from a liquid into a vapor, leaving a waste stream called the ...
