Numerical Investigation of Turbulent Mass Transfer in a 90° Bend

This paper presents a numerical study of local mass transfer coefficients in a 90° bend using the RNG version of k–e model to include the influence of curvature on the turbulent transport. Simulations were performed for flow through a 90°, 3-D bend for Reynolds numbers of 13500, 90000, and 390000, Schmidt numbers of 2.53 and 700 and curvature ratios of 1.5, 2, and 2.5. The differences betwe...

Mass Transfer Coefficients in Pulsed Column for Separation of Samarium and Gadolinium

The mass transfer performance of a pulsed disc and doughnut column for extraction of samarium and gadolinium from aqueous nitrate solution with D2EHPA was investigated. The effects of operating parameters such as pulsation intensity, continuous and dispersed phase velocities on column performance were investigated. The axial dispersion model was used to obtain the overall mass transfer coef...

Investigation of Mass Transfer Coefficient under Jetting Conditions in a Liquid-Liquid Extraction System

In this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-Butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. The effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the heig...

Vancomycin mass transfer characteristics of high-flux cellulosic dialysers.

BACKGROUND In comparison to conventional haemodialysis membranes, highly permeable membranes allow a broader spectrum of solute removal, including enhanced elimination of vancomycin (1448 Daltons). However, the mass transfer characteristics of vancomycin removal by highly permeable membranes have not been adequately assessed. An understanding of vancomycin's predominant dialytic mass transfer m...
