Analogies between Mass, Heat and Momentum Transfer

Momentum, heat and mass transfer have similar phenomena.

Therefore, there are analogies among the three transport
processes.

Not good for liquids or flow that has form drag (drag pada

JD factor and JH factor

Often the mass transfer coefficient is correlated as a

dimensionless JD factor– relating k 'c and Sh

Also heat flux at wet cloth : (mass
flux) x (heat of vaporization)
q/A = (NH2O MH2O ) H2O
