Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, 5th Edition

Chapter 21. Convective Mass Transfer

21.0 Chapter Objectives

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

• Distinguish between the mass-transfer coefficients for the two classic cases: (a) equilmolar counterdiffusion and (b) adiffusing through stagnant, nondiffusing B

• Recognize the analogies among mass, heat, and momentum transfer

• Use the Buckingham method to determine the number of dimensionless parameters

• Derive equations that allow prediction of heat-transfer coefficients for a flat plate with laminar flow

• Calculate mass-transfer coefficients for situations described in the chapter; for example, calculating the mass transfer coefficient for flow inside a pipe

• Explain the differences between the four basic models for mass-transfer ...
