Knowledge of droplet behavior is one of the most important criteria for determination of mass transfer kinetics for choosing the type of liquid-liquid extraction columns. Mean drop size data of dispersed phase droplets in continuous phase have been obtained for Various Rotary Agitated Liquid-Liquid Extraction Columns . The effects of operational variables such as mass transfer directions with a...

This study presents a novel pressure-based methodology for the efficient numerical solution of four-equation two-phase diffuse interface model. The proposed has potential to simulate low-Mach flows with mass transfer. In contrast classical conservative model formulation, adopted set equations features volume fraction, temperature, velocity and pressure as primary variables. includes effects vis...

Heatlines were proposed in 1983 by Kimura and Bejan (1983) as adequate tools for visualization and analysis of convection heat transfer. The masslines, their equivalent to apply to convection mass transfer, were proposed in 1987 by Trevisan and Bejan. These visualization and analysis tools proved to be useful, and their application in the fields of convective heat and/or mass transfer is still ...
