among molar fluxes, Diffusivity, Diffusivity in liquids, Steady State Diffusion,
steady state diffusion through a stagnant film, Diffusion in solids, Convective
Mass Transfer, Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient, Application of
Dimensionless Analysis to Mass Transfer, Convective Mass Transfer Correlations,
Single Sphere, Single Cylinder, Flow Through Pipes, Mass transfer between
phases, Simultaneous Heat and Mass Transfer, The Wet – bulb Thermometer.
When a
system contains two or more components whose concentrations vary from point to
point, there is a natural tendency for mass to be transferred, minimizing the
concentration differences within a system. The transport of one constituent from
a region of higher concentration to that of a lower concentration is called mass
transfer. The topic in these notes are as follows : Introduction to Mass
Transfer, Humidification, Drying, Crystallization, Membrane Seperation.
