MASS TRANSFER ACROSS A SHEARED, WAVY AIR/WATER INTERFACE.

Author(s) : COHEN Y.

Type of article: Article

Summary

ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES SHOW THAT CAPILLARY WAVES CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE ENHANCEMENT OF MASS TRANSFER RATES AT VELOCITIES NOT HIGHER THAN 1.5 CM/S. AT HIGHER FRICTION VELOCITIES, THE INCREASE IN MASS TRANSFER WAS ASSOCIATED PRIMARILY WITH THE TURBULENT WATER DRIFT CURRENT. A CONVENIENT CORRELATION IS PROPOSED FOR THE LIQUID PHASE MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENT WITH THE WATER SIDE FRICTION VELOCITY AS THE ONLY HYDRODYNAMIC PARAMETER. THIS CORRELATION DESCRIBES LABORATORY AND IN SITU DATA SATISFACTORILY.
