JA = cA DAB rxA Ficks law requires us to resolve xA. This,
in turn, requires detailed knowledge of u
since it will cause non-trival x profiles.
Concept: if we only care about an overall JA,
xw and not about xA(z), then we can approximate:
x1 xw
JAz cDAB = kc (cAw cA1 )
`
Mass transfer coefficient, kc, is empirical,
Note: kc=DAB only if cA is linear. JA kc (cAw c A1 ) and contains a lot of physics (must be
correlated for different situations).

Concept:
pA A pocket of fresh fluid arrives from the bulk to the film and stays there
cAi for some period of time, whereafter it is replaced by a new packet of
fresh fluid.
cAb Essentially diffusion into an infinite slab (but only for a short time tc).

NA = kc (cAi c Ab ) Choosing tc:
Bubbles: ratio of bubble diameter to its relative velocity in the fluid
Droplets: residence time (assuming no internal circulation)
Packed tower: typically around 1s.

Overall Mass Transfer Coefficients
No reaction.
Phase equilibrium at the interface & Henrys law applies.
This has the effect of being a contact resistance to mass
transfer (analog to heat transfer).
Henrys law implies a linear relationship between the gas &
liquid phases compositions. Typically only valid for small
ranges of xA or yA.
Bulk flow is negligible (NA = JA).
