Mass Transfer Coefficient in Mass Transfer Operations Formulas

Mass Transfer Coefficient is defined as the rate at which solute molecules are transported from the bulk solution to the surface of growing crystals or vice versa. And is denoted by k_d. Mass Transfer Coefficient is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Mass Transfer Coefficient is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Mass Transfer Coefficient?

Mass Transfer Coefficient is defined as the rate at which solute molecules are transported from the bulk solution to the surface of growing crystals or vice versa. Mass Transfer Coefficient is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Mass Transfer Coefficient is always positive.

Can the Mass Transfer Coefficient be negative?

No, the Mass Transfer Coefficient, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Mass Transfer Coefficient?

Mass Transfer Coefficient is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Mass Transfer Coefficient can be measured.
