What is the low mass flux approximation in mass transfer analysis? Can the evaporation of water from a lake be treated as a low mass flux process?

What will be an ideal response?


A convection mass transfer is referred to as the low mass flux when the flow rate of species undergoing mass flow is low relative to the total flow rate of the liquid or gas mixture so that the mass transfer between the fluid and the surface does not affect the flow velocity. The evaporation of water into air from lakes, rivers, etc. can be treated as a low mass-flux process since the mass fraction of water vapor in the air in such cases is just a few percent.
