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
