Transport equation, mass

The governing equations for mass flow, energy flow, and contaminant flow in a room will be the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equations (one in each coordinate direction), the energy equation, and the mass transport equation, respectively. 

The mass transport equation for gas in air (binary mixture) has a similar structure ... 

An important assumption was that the solution was dilute (in this case natural water of approximately lOOp.p.m. total dissolved solids) since there are difficulties in applying mass transport equations for certain situations in concentrated electrolyte solution, where a knowledge of activities is uncertain and this can lead to large errors. 

The TDE solute module is formulated with one equation describing pollutant mass balance of the species in a representative soil volume dV = dxdydz. The solute module is frequently known as the dispersive, convective differential mass transport equation, in porous media, because of the wide employment of this equation, that may also contain an adsorptive, a decay and a source or sink term. The one dimensional formulation of the module is ... 

The classical electrochemical methods are based on the simultaneous measurement of current and electrode potential. In simple cases the measured current is proportional to the rate of an electrochemical reaction. However, generally the concentrations of the reacting species at the interface are different from those in the bulk, since they are depleted or accumulated during the course of the reaction. So one must determine the interfacial concentrations. There axe two principal ways of doing this. In the first class of methods one of the two variables, either the potential or the current, is kept constant or varied in a simple manner, the other variable is measured, and the surface concentrations are calculated by solving the transport equations under the conditions applied. In the simplest variant the overpotential or the current is stepped from zero to a constant value the transient of the other variable is recorded and extrapolated back to the time at which the step was applied, when the interfacial concentrations were not yet depleted. In the other class of method the transport of the reacting species is enhanced by convection. If the geometry of the system is sufficiently simple, the mass transport equations can be solved, and the surface concentrations calculated. 

Mass transport models for multicomponent systems have been developed where the equilibrium interaction chemistry is solved independently of the mass transport equations which leads to a set of algebraic equations for the chemistry coupled to a set of differential equations for the mass transport. (Cederberg et al., 1985). 

The reaction mechanism developed was then used to predict the experimental species profiles obtained in one-dimensional flames (Kee et al, 1985 Karra and Senkan, 1987). For one-dimensional, premixed, laminar flat flames, the energy and mass transport equations are given by the following ... 

In this chapter, we will review various solution techniques for the diffusion equation, which is generally dehned as the mass transport equation with diffusive terms. These techniques will be applied to chemical transport solutions in sediments. There are also a number of applications to chemical transport in biohlms. There are many other applications of the diffusion equation, including most of the topics of this text, but they require more background with regard to the physics of mixing processes, which will be addressed in later chapters. 

The diffusive flux rates would be treated similarly. The area of the control volume changing with radius is the reason the mass transport equation in cylindrical coordinates, given below - with similar assumptions as equation (2.18) - looks somewhat different than in Cartesian coordinates. 

Then, the diffusive mass transport equation (2.18) becomes... 

Now, if we substitute equation (2.29) into our mass transport equation (2.18) for the source term, the result is a PDE where the only dependent variable is C ...

In the ideal plug flow reactor, the flow traverses through the reactor hke a plug, with a uniform velocity profile and no diffusion in the longitudinal direction, as illustrated in Figure 6.2. A nonreactive tracer would travel through the reactor and leave with the same concentration versus time curve, except later. The mass transport equation is... 

There are two mass transport equations - the main reactor and the dead-zone reactor - that need to be solved for the reactor combination given in Figure 6.9. These are...

Now, we need a solution to the plug flow with dispersion model for steady-state operation of an air-stripping tower. The mass transport equation for this situation, assuming minimal trichloroethylene builds up in the bubble, is... 

We will begin with domain discretization into control volumes. Consider our box used in Chapter 2 to derive the mass transport equation. Now, assume that this box does not become infinitely small and is a control volume of dimensions Ax, Ay, and Az. A similar operation on the entire domain, shown in Figure 7.1, will discretize the domain into control volumes of boxes. Each box is identified by an integer i, j, k), corresponding to the box number in the x-, y-, and z-coordinate system. Our differential domain has become a discrete domain, with each box acting as a complete mixed tank. Then, we will apply our general mass conservation equation from Chapter 2 ... 

We could perform our discretization on the governing partial differential equations, which are different for each case, but there is no need to go beyond the most fundamental equation of mass transport, equation (2.1). 

Now, consider the mass transport equation within roughly 28c of the interface, where there is no turbulent transport because Sc S ... 

In the penetration theory, the mass transport equation takes the form... 

The goal of this chapter is to describe the application of hydrodynamic electrodes to the study of electrode kinetics and the kinetics of electrode and coupled homogeneous reactions. In order to do this, it is important to describe first the mass transport and how to fulfil experimentally the conditions described by the mass transport equations, i.e. electrode construction and operation.
