the effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. one of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). in this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) concentration on the efficiency and the avera...

this paper presents a numerical study of local mass transfer coefficients in a 90° bend using the rng version of k–e model to include the influence of curvature on the turbulent transport. simulations were performed for flow through a 90°, 3-d bend for reynolds numbers of 13500, 90000, and 390000, schmidt numbers of 2.53 and 700 and curvature ratios of 1.5, 2, and 2.5. the differences between t...

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of nanomaterials on mass transfer coefficient in bubble type absorption of carbon dioxide by experiment. The absorption process is carried out in a bubble column and in room temperature. Mass transfer coefficient, saturated concentration of CO2, and gas holdup are determined in this system. The kinds of nanomaterials, the concentrations ...

Drying represents one of the oldest unit operations employed in industrial processes. Drying is viewed as a process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Porous Clay-like material undergoes stresses due to non-uniform distribution of temperature and moisture induced by heat and mass transfer respectively. The aim of this work is to simulate the stresses induced by heat and mass transfer durin...

an analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional mhd mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. the parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...

The mass transfer performance of a pulsed disc and doughnut column for extraction of samarium and gadolinium from aqueous nitrate solution with D2EHPA was investigated. The effects of operating parameters such as pulsation intensity, continuous and dispersed phase velocities on column performance were investigated. The axial dispersion model was used to obtain the overall mass transfer coef...

Understanding the kinetics of gas hydrate formation is essential to model and predict the hydrate formation (or dissociation) process. In the present paper, we investigated the formation of pure propane gas hydrate as a former gas. In this regard, several experiments were conducted to measure the rate of hydrate formation under various pressures (410 to 510 kPa) and temperatures (274 K to 277 K...

a thermodynamic analysis of the counter flow wet cooling tower (cwct) in the steelmaking unit of the khuzestan steel company (ksc) is performed in this paper. we evaluated both energy and exergy formulations for analyzing the heat and mass transfer, exergy and second-law efficiency in this cooling tower. the lewis factor le f is an indication of the relative rates of heat and mass transfer in a...
