Mass Transfer Processes: Modeling, Computations, and Design

Chapter 11. Mass Transfer in Laminar Boundary Layers

Learning Objectives

After completing this chapter, you will be able to:

• Set up the model for mass transfer for flow of a fluid over a flat plate.

• Understand the differences in model formulation for low flux and high flux mass transfer.

• Solve the flat plate problem by the Blasius method.

• Understand the integral solution method for boundary layer problems and use it for a number of prototypical problems in mass transfer.

• Correct the results of the low flux case for the high flux case using the film model as well as the Blasius and integral methods.

• Model the mass transfer for flow over an inclined plate using the Falkner-Skan method.

• Understand the basics of model development for mass transfer ...
