Applications of the Surface Renewal Model of Mass Transfer

Applications of the Surface Renewal Model of Mass Transfer, 1st Edition, offers a technical reference on applying surface renewal theory to analyze gas-liquid contacting equipment and membrane filters. Authors Hengshuo Huang and Siddharth G. Chatterjee develop theoretical framework formulations for physical gas absorption, chemical gas absorption, and membrane filtration systems. The volume provides specialized material for researchers in academia and industry.

The text focuses on mass-transfer approaches used in the analysis and design of industrial gas-liquid contactors. It includes detailed evaluations of equipment configurations such as stirred tanks and packed towers. Beyond traditional process equipment, the coverage demonstrates surface renewal model applications within chemical engineering fields and oceanography studies.

A defining theoretical feature is the model's description of turbulent hydrodynamics at the gas-liquid interface, which yields a detailed representation superior to the conventional film model. This reference fits advanced academic research groups and industrial engineering units.
