Analog simulation of mass transfer in droplets with turbulent internal circulation

Abstract

"The object of this thesis is to simulate the Handlos and Baron Model for mass transfer into droplets by using an iterative analog computer in order to obtain eigenvalue and other parameters in a series solution. The eigenvalues λ_n calculated in this work are compared with the results obtained by Wellek-Skelland using a variational technique and by Patel using numerical approaches on the digital computer. From the analytical series solution, one can calculate the fraction of solute extracted in the droplets as a function of droplet contact time. PACTOLUS, a digital-analog simulator, provides a check on the validity of analog simulation. The PACTOLUS simulation confirmed the results obtained from the analog simulation"--Abstract, page i.
