Study of mass transfer in oscillating droplets.

Abstract

"The object of this investigation was to study the resistance to mass transfer inside single oscillating liquid droplets falling in a liquid medium. The following four systems were studied: (1) 3% acetic acid in nitrobenzene and water, (2) 25% acetic acid in nitrobenzene and water, (3) 3% acetic acid in nitrobenzene and glycerin in water, and (4) benzyl alcohol and water. The individual mass transfer coefficients were computed by using the Handlos and Baron relation and were compared with the experimentally determined dispersed phase mass transfer coefficients. The average absolute deviation of the observed values of dispersed phase mass transferred coefficient, k_d from those calculated by the Handlos and Baron model was 39.2 percent. An empirical modification of the Handlos and Baron model was proposed which predicts values of k_d differing by 25.1 percent from the experimental values of k_d"--Abstract, p. 2
