Title: Mass Transfer with Chemical Reaction From Single Spheres
Authors: Houghton, William

Department: Chemical Engineering
Keywords: mass transfer;chemical reaction;forced convection;velocity profiles
Publication Date: Oct-1966
Abstract: <p> Forced convection mass transfer rates from single gas bubbles, with accompanying chemical reaction, were determined experimentally in the intermediate Reynolds number range. The reacting system carbon dioxide-monoethanolaminc was chosen for this study. </p> <p> A mathematical model, describing forced convection mass transfer from a single sphere with accompanying first or second order reaction, was developed and solved using finite-difference techniques. Hydrodynamic conditions in the intermediate Reynolds number region were described using Kawaguti-type velocity profiles. </p> <p> The numerical solutions of the model have been compared with the experimental results of this study as well as with previous theoretical and experimental results. </p>
