Using the analogy between heat and mass transfer, explain how the mass transfer coefficient can be determined from the relations for the heat transfer coefficient.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Using the analogy between heat and mass transfer, the mass transfer coefficient can be determined from the relations for heat transfer coefficient using the Chilton-Colburn Analogy expressed as







Once the heat transfer coefficient hheat is available, the mass transfer coefficient hheat can be obtained from the relation above by substituting the values of the properties.
