This document discusses convective mass transfer between phases. It describes mass transfer occurring between a moving fluid and a fixed surface, or between two immiscible moving fluids. The rate of mass transfer depends on transport properties and fluid dynamics. Examples are given of absorption processes using spray towers and bubble towers, as well as the two-resistance theory of mass transfer and examples of its application to absorption and stripping processes.

Convective Mass Transfer Between Phases

prepared by Dr. A. Al-Juhani 1


(Review for the concept of convective mass transfer)

 1) Mass transfer between a moving fluid and a fixed


solid surface (e.g. as in chapter 28 and chapter 30),
or:

2) Mass transfer between two immiscible moving fluids


contacting each others (e.g. as in chapter 29)

 It depends both on the transport properties and on the


dynamic characteristics of the moving fluid.

 NA = kc ∆cA
