Solid-Liquid Mass Transfer in the Annular Region of a Taylor-Couette Contacting Device
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Molaei Dehkordi, Asghar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Vortex flow reactor (VFR) is used for biochemical reactions and separation applications. By using the second flow regime, called Taylor-Couette flow, VFR provides high amounts of mass transfer and mixing for biological components sensitive to shear stress. Mass transfer in a bench-scale Taylor-Couette contactor with a radius ratio, equal to 0.77 and an aspect ratio, equal to 30.7 was studied for solid particles dissolution. The working fluid was water and the suspended particles were benzoic acid. In this project the concentration of fluid phase was measured by injection of definite amount of the solid particles in to the contactor and sampling in different time intervals and the effects of...

Abstract
Falling film heat and mass transfer analysis of a horizontal tube bundle in a generator of absorption chillers have been studied. The film Reynolds number is limited to the laminar flow and the effect of ripple on the free surface has been ignored. Thermal boundary conditions are considered to be constant wall temperature and desorption is considered to be free surface evaporation. Analysis is based on a single column of horizontal tubes, arranged in a vertically spaced configuration. A comprehensive numerical code has been developed to solved the governing equations. The functional relationship of average heat transfer coefficient of tube bundle has been analytically correlated to the first...

Abstract
In this paper the analytical and simulation modelling of the combined heat and mass transfer processes that occur in a solid desiccant wheel is carried out. Using the numerical method, the performance of an adiabatic rotary dehumidifier is parametrically studied, and the optimal rotational speed is determined by examining the outlet adsorption-side humidity profiles. An approach to compare the solutions for different conditions used in air dehumidifier has been investigated according to the previous published studies. Comparing the simulated results with the published actual values of an experimental work substantiates the validity of model. The model accuracy with respect to the key...
A new method to calculate efficiency of randomly-packed distillation columns and its comparison with the methods utilized in ASPEN Plus

Abstract
In this paper, a unique and applicable method was developed for calculation of efficiency (and mass and heat transfer coefficients) of randomly-packed distillation columns. This method has potential advantages; e.g., unlike all the available methods, it can calculate efficiency without using any empirical mass transfer and hydraulic correlations, and without the need to estimate the operational and hydraulic parameters of an operating column. It, therefore, will be free of errors and limitations of such empirical items and can be used for efficiency calculation of any random packing including new ones. Along with an analysis of the proposed method, the paper also presents a thorough analysis...
Investigation of Mass Transfer in Liquid-Liquid System in the Presence of Nanosized Particles
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bastani, Dariush (Supervisor)
Abstract
The main objective of this project is to study the effect of the presence of nanoparticles on mass transfer in liquid-liquid systems. To do this research, TiO2/water, Al2O3/water, CNTs/water and CNTs/toluene have been used as nanofluids. The experiments of TiO2/water nanofluid were been carried out in water-acetone-toluene system at two weigh percents of TiO2 nanoparticles. The result showed that mass transfer decreased in 0.5wt% of TiO2, compared to base fluid, and it increase in 1 %wt. Also in 0.5%wt the decrease in interfacial tension decreased diameter of drops and as a result mass transfer decreased too. In 1%wt the increase in viscosity increased the diameter of drops and then the...

Abstract
CO2 gas injection is known as one of the most popular enhanced oil recovery techniques for light and medium oil reservoirs, therefore providing an acceptable mass transfer mechanism for CO2–oil systems seems necessary. In this study, interfacial mass transfer coefficient has been evaluated for CO2–normal heptane and CO2–normal hexadecane systems using equilibrium and dynamic interfacial tension data, which have been measured using the pendant drop method. Interface mass transfer coefficient has been calculated as a function of temperature and pressure in the range of 313–393 K and 1.7–8.6 MPa, respectively. The results showed that the interfacial resistance is a parameter that can control...

Abstract
This article investigates the effect of nanoparticles on mass transfer in the liquid–liquid extraction for the chemical system of n-butanol–succinic acid–water. For this purpose, nanofluids containing various concentrations of ZnO, carbon nanotubes (CNT), and TiO2 nanoparticles in water, as base fluid, were prepared. To examine the flow mode effect on mass transfer rate, different fluid modes including dropping and jetting were employed in the process. Results show that mass transfer rate enhancement depends on the kinds and the concentration of nanoparticles and the modes of flow. It was observed that after adding nanoparticles, the mass transfer rate significantly increases up to two-fold...

Experimental investigation in pool boiling heat transfer of pure/binary mixtures and heat transfer correlations
, Article Iranian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ; Volume 27, Issue 3 , September and October , 2008 , Pages 135-150 ; 10219986 (ISSN) ; Jamialahmadi, M ; Safekordi, A. A ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient have been experimentally measured on a horizontal rod heater for various liquid binary mixtures. Measurements are based on more than three hundred data points on a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. In this investigation, it has been confirmed that the heat transfer coefficient in boiling solutions are regularly less than those in pure component liquids with same physical properties. Several reasons should be responsible for this phenomenon, but mainly it could be related to preferential evaporation of the more volatile component(s) during bubble formation. In this article, the performances of major existing correlations to the...

Abstract
Although there is extensive experimental, theoretical and numerical research on dynamics of drop formation in liquid-liquid systems, the evaluation of mass transfer during drop formation is rather complex and there has been little research on that. The various mathematical models developed for this problem are generally based on a solution of the diffusion equation without any allowance for circulation within the drop. This is the main reason for the poor prediction of these models in many cases for which internal convection has an important effect on mass transfer rate. In this paper an attempt was made to define a parameter related to the extent of the convective mixing within the growing...

Abstract
In the present work, multistage extraction column performance for reactive separation of molybdenum from the leach aqueous phase by using D2EHPA and TBP in kerosene was investigated by using the axial diffusion model. The variation of volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients based on continuous phases at various operating conditions was obtained. By considering the chemical reaction conditions, the experimental data indicate that the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients increase with an enhancement in rotor speed and continuous and dispersed phase flow rates. According to the sensitivity analysis, the rotor speed and flow rate of the dispersed phase have more influence on...
Investigation the effect of super hydrophobic titania nanoparticles on the mass transfer performance of single drop liquid-liquid extraction process
, Article Separation and Purification Technology ; Volume 176 , 2017 , Pages 107-119 ; 13835866 (ISSN) ; Bastani, D ; Najafi, F ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Hydrophobic titania nanoparticles were synthesized by a novel in situ sol-gel method and applied in a single drop liquid-liquid extraction column to enhance the overall dispersed-phase mass transfer coefficient (Kod). The chemical system of toluene, acetic acid and water was used, and the direction of solute (acetic acid) mass transfer was from dispersed phase, including: toluene and acetic acid to the continuous phase of water. For such system, much of the mass transfer resistance exists in the dispersed phase, which is nonpolar organic liquid. Hence, modified titania nanoparticles (MTNP's), prepared by sol-gel route, in five different concentrations of 0.001–0.005 wt.% were added in the...

Abstract
In this study, in order to investigate the effect of the underlying pore-scale processes on continuum scale simulations of porous media dissolution, we improve the standard Lattice Boltzmann method using Quadtree grid refinement approach to simulate fluid flow and reactive transport through large domain sizes. Our results have shown considerable computational improvements up to 80% in simulation time together with increased numerical accuracy. The results and the added value of the new approach are discussed using comparison of our model with the conventional LBM. Moreover, we have applied a systematic analysis by increasing complexity levels and starting from fluid flow and continuing with...

Abstract
In this survey, the reactive mass transfer data are determined for extraction technique in the modified rotating disc column. Mathematical models are investigated to compute the mass transfer coefficients of the dispersed phase. An increase in the dispersed phase holdup from 0.85 to 0.12 and a decrease in droplet diameter from 2.24 to 0.74 mm are observed with increasing rotation speed from 170 to 410 rpm in the optimized system. The experiments showed that the optimum transport efficiency in rotor speed of 410 rpm in this column is equal to 98.85% and 99.45% for extraction and stripping stages, respectively. The model's achievement is compared with the solvent extraction data and a...

Abstract
In this study, natural super-cavitating flow around three different conical cavitators with wedge angles of 30°, 45° and 60° is investigated. We apply the k−ϵ turbulence model and the volume of fluid (VOF) technique to numerically study the three-dimensional cavitating flow around the cavitators. The turbulence approach is coupled with a mass transfer model which is implemented into the finite-volume package. Simulations are performed for different cavitation numbers. Finally, the effects of some important parameters such as the cavitation index, inlet velocity, Froude number and wedge angle of cavitators on the geometrical characteristics of the super-cavities are discussed. Our numerical...
Model for excess mass-transfer resistance of contaminated liquid-liquid systems
, Article Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research ; Volume 46, Issue 5 , 2007 , Pages 1563-1571 ; 08885885 (ISSN) ; Ghasemian, S ; Bastani, D ; Ahmadpour, N ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The prediction of mass-transfer rates into and from moving drops in the liquid-liquid systems has usually used the well-known Whitman two-film theory approach. According to the latter, the total resistance to mass transfer resides on each side of the interface and is described by the individual film mass-transfer coefficients for the continuous and dispersed phases in the absence of surface-active agents (contaminants). In the present work, the same approach has been used to model the excess mass-transfer resistance exerted by surface-active agents in the continuous phase. To achieve this goal, an experimental investigation has been conducted on the mass transfer into and from single drops...
