Mass transfer deformed interface flow

Table 7.8 Mass transfer literature on slug-drop and deformed interface flow. ...

Their model showed good agreement with experimental results. Raimondi et al. (2008) carried out numerical simulations of the mass transfer during liquid-liquid plug flow in square microchannels, where it was assumed that mass transfer did not deform the interface, since the hydrodynamics were decoupled from the mass transfer. Kashid et al. (2010) performed dimensional analysis to obtain a relationship (Eq. 2.2.32) between the mass transfer coefiftcient and various independent variables. In their studies however, they did not take into account the effect of contacting geometry and microchannel shape.
