The film theory (for interfacial mass transfer) Assuming a stagnant film exists near interface, a solute present at high dilution is slowly diffusing across this film. At steady-state: p1 c1i Gas Bulk liquid c1 z = 0 z = l Liquid film or

Example Carbon dioxide is being scrubbed out of a gas using water flowing through a packed bed of 1 cm Berl saddles. The carbon dioxide is absorbed at a rate of 2.3 x 10-6 mol/cm2 sec. The carbon dioxide is present at a partial pressure of 10 atm, the Henry’s law coefficient H is 600 atm, and the diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide in water is 1.9 x 10-5 cm2/sec. Find the film thickness. 9.3 x 10-4 mol/cm3 The interfacial concentration: 1/18 mol/cm3 10 atm 600 atm Mass transfer k = 2.5 x 10-3 cm/sec typical order: 10-2 cm

Penetration theory (Higbie, 1935) The falling film is very thick. In the z direction, diffusion is much more important than convection, and in the x direction, diffusion is much less important then convection. Flux at the interface: p1 c1i Gas Bulk liquid c1 z = 0 z =  The flux averaged over x is:

Surface-renewal theory (Dankwerts, 1951) It consists of two regions: Interfacial region: mass transfer occurs by penetration theory. Renewal region: constantly exchanged with new elements from a second bulk region. p1 Bulk liquid The length of time that small fluid elements spend in the interfacial region is the key. c1i Gas c1 Residence time distribution z = 0

Boundary layer theory A more complete description of mass transfer Based on parallel with earlier studies of fluid mechanics and heat transfer The sharp-edged plate made of a sparingly soluble solute is immersed in a rapid flowing solvent. A boundary layer is formed. The boundary layer is usually defined as the locus of distance over which 99% of the disruptive effect occurs. When the flow pattern develops, the solute dissolves off the plate. turbulent region laminar region turbulent region

Layers caused by flow and by mass transfer The distance that the solute penetrates produces a new concentration boundary layer c , but this layer is not the same as that observed for flow . The two layers influence each other. When the dissolving solute is only sparingly soluble, the boundary layer caused by the flow is unaffected. Assuming flow varies as a power series in the boundary layer thickness  find c ?

Find the boundary layer for flow first: Assuming the fluid flowing parallel to the flat plate follows: The boundary conditions are: The fluid sticks to the plate. The plate is solid and the stress on it is constant. Far from the plate, the plate has no effect.

turbulent region Mass balance on the control volume of the width W, the thickness x and the height l: Dividing Wx x  0 x-momentum balance gives: Dividing Wx x  0

We have  now and use to find vx. How about c ?

Find the boundary layer for concentration: Assuming the concentration profile parallel to the flat plate follows: The boundary conditions are: The concentration and flux are constant at the plate. Far from the plate, the plate has no effect.
