Chapter 18. Introduction to Mass Transfer

18.0 Chapter Objectives

On completion of this chapter, a student should be able to:

  • Use both the American and SI units when solving mass-transfer problems

  • Explain the basics of Fick’s law and similarity to other rate-transfer processes

  • Be able to predict binary diffusion coefficients for both gases and liquids

  • Explain the physical significance of a mass-transfer coefficient

  • Solve simple problems involving molecular diffusion, convection, and chemical reaction

18.1 Introduction to Mass Transfer and Diffusion

18.1A Similarity of Mass, Heat, and Momentum Transfer Processes

1. Introduction. In Chapter 1, we noted that the various separation processes have certain basic principles that can be classified ...
