Film Thickness by Film Theory Formula Elements

Variables
Film Thickness
The Film Thickness is the thickness between the wall or the phase boundary or the interface to the other end of the film.
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diffusion Coefficient (DAB)
The Diffusion Coefficient (DAB) is the amount of a particular substance that diffuses across a unit area in 1 second under the influence of a gradient of one unit.
Symbol: DAB
Measurement: DiffusivityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient
Convective Mass Transfer Coefficient is a function of geometry of the system and the velocity and properties of the fluid similar to the heat transfer coefficient.
Symbol: kL
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
