Processes involving mass transfer are among the main unit operations in the industry today. Due to the ever-increasing need to produce chemical commodities, distillation and absorption are still among the most widely used techniques for producing and/or separating components. The main consequence of this is that there is constant effort to make significant improvements in […]
Many industrial operations involve Mass Transfer and require intimate contact between phases, such as distillation and absorption, which involve exchange between the gas and liquid phases. Mass transfer is by definition a non-equilibrium process characterized by the movement of molecules caused by a concentration gradient. Mass transfer is studied on a continuous scale, corresponding to […]
