FICK’S LAWS CLASS NOTES FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

  FICK’S LAWS CLASS NOTES FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Maxwell-Stefan equations are used for the mass transfer in multi-component mixtures. Fick’s laws equations are limiting equations of Maxwell-Stefan equations. In these, it has been assumed that the mixture is extremely dilute. Further assumption is that every chemical species is interacting only with the bulk mixture and…

MASS TRANSFER CLASS NOTES FOR ENGINEERING

  MASS TRANSFER  CLASS NOTES FOR ENGINEERING Before discussing convective mass transfer, it is necessary to compare convective heat transfer and convective mass transfer since there is a similarity between these two. In heat transfer, there is convective heat transfer coefficient ‘ h’. Similarly there is mass transfer coefficient in mass transfer. Prandtl number (Pr…
