Dimensional Scaling Factors for the Mass Transfer Rate Processes

10-1 DIMENSIONAL SCALING FACTORS FOR THE MASS TRANSFER RATE PROCESSES 

The objective of this section is to identify the characteristic quantities for a generic mass transfer problem and the physical properties of the fluid (i.e., p and Hi, mix), which can be combined to represent the dimensions and an order-of-magnitude estimate of each term in the mass transfer equation. The characteristic scalar quantities are the average flnid velocity (n), a length scale L, and the inlet molar density of reactant A, Cao-
