In this paper, the hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics of a stirred cell for contacting immiscible phases are examined using a similarity solution for a rotating disk in laminar flow, such that the interface is stationary, and the rate of diffusion in the absence of any interfacial resistance is obtained.
Abstract
The hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics of a stirred cell for contacting immiscible phases are examined. When each phase is stirred with a rotating disk in laminar flow, such that the interface is stationary, the rate of diffusion in the absence of any interfacial resistance is obtained using a similarity solution. The hydrodynamics, specifically the radial velocity derivative at the interface, which is the most important component of the mass transfer solution, is obtained by combining the solutions for a finite disk and for the relationship between disk velocity and fluid core velocity. Excellent experimental agreement, within 5% of the theory, is observed.

A mass transfer model for the extraction of weak acids/based in emulsion liquid-membrane systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model for analysing the extraction of weak acids and weak bases from aqueous solution by liquid surfactant membrane has been presented, assuming that the reactions are reversible and the reaction equilibrium to exist in both the internal phase and the external continuous phase.

Interfacial turbulence: Hydrodynamic instability and the marangoni effect

TL;DR: In this article, a simplified mathematical model has been analyzed in order to detail the mechanism of the "interfacial engine" which supplies the mechanical energy of interfacial turbulence, which is a manifestation of hydrodynamic instability, touched off by ever present, small, random fluctuations about the interface.

Dynamics of a fluid interface Equation of motion for Newtonian surface fluids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a completely general formulation of the dynamics of a Newtonian fluid interface, that is, one whose rheological behaviour is characterized by its equilibrium interfacial tension and B oussinesq's [18] two coefficients of surface viscosity.

Contributions to the Theory of Heat Transfer through a Laminar Boundary Layer

TL;DR: In this article, an approximation to the heat transfer rate across a laminar incompressible boundary layer, for arbitrary distribution of main stream velocity and of wall temperature, is obtained by using the energy equation in von Mises's form, and approximating the coefficients in a manner which is most closely correct near the surface.

On the flow between a rotating and a stationary disk

TL;DR: The analysis and experiments in this paper are restricted to the flow between two coaxial, infinite disks, one rotating and one stationary, and the results of numerical calculations show that many solutions can exist for a given Reynolds number Ωl2/v (Ω is the angular velocity of the rotating disk and I is the spacing between the two disks).

The mechanism of mass transfer of solutes across liquid-liquid interfaces: Part I: the determination of individual transfer coefficients for binary systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of transfer cell has been designed and used for the determination of the individual mass transfer coefficients, by the Colburn-Welsh technique, for eight partially miscible binary systems, in six of which one of the phases was water.
