In this paper yield of nimbin extraction from neem seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide with methanol as co-solvent has been studied. In this case mass transfer coefficient in terms of Sherwood number has been estimated by a neuro-fuzzy network. Then the estimated mass transfer coefficient has been fed to the system model which is set of partial differential equations. The proposed gray box...

A comprehensive investigation on the solubility and mass transfer coefficient enhancement of methyl benzoate through hydrotropy has been undertaken. The solubility and mass transfer coefficient studies were carried out using hydrotropes such as citric acid, urea and nicotinamide under a wide range of hydrotrope concentrations (0 to 3.0 mol/L) and different system temperatures (303 to 333 K). Th...

one of the cooling systems that has received considerable attentions in recent years is the adsorption chiller, which works based on the adsorption and desorption of a working fluid in a solid porous bed. different parameters such as fin height directly affect the bed heat and mass transfer processes, and therefore, the performance of the adsorption chillers. in the present study a numerical mo...

This study presents a method for the experimental determination of local volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLaL in high-pressure two-phase flow water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) micro-capillary using colorimetric method. H2O CO2 are fed continuously co-axially injected at (10 MPa) moderate temperature (303 K) into microcapillary. Under conditions studied, segmented is formed. The dissolve...

nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient have been experimentally measured on a horizontal rod heater for various liquid binary mixtures. measurements are based on more than three hundred data points on a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. in this investigation, it has been confirmed that the heat transfer coefficient in boiling solutions are regularly less than those in pure ...

Transformation of the tube-side mass transfer coefficient derived in hollow fibre membrane contactors (HFMC) of different characteristic length scales (equivalent diameter and fibre length) has been studied when operated in the low Graetz range (Gz<10). Within the low Gz range, mass transfer is generally described by the Graetz problem (Sh=3.67) which assumes that the concentration profile comp...

All important studies on the influence of pressure on mass transfer phenomena in gas-liquid systems and reactors are reviewed critically. Points of agreement and conflict are indicated and discussed. It is concluded that: (1) the initial bubble size at a single orifice decreases with increasing pressure; (2) the gas-phase mass transfer coefficient kG is inversely proportional to the pressure to...
