This document discusses simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes. It notes that heat conduction, mass diffusion, and fluid flow obey similar governing equations. While heat and mass transfer are mathematically analogous for gases, they are not as closely coupled for liquids due to lower mass diffusivity. The Chilton-Colburn analogy was developed based on experimental data to relate heat and mass transfer coefficients for liquids, with an exponent of 2/3. Cooling tower design examples demonstrate how heat and mass transfers are coupled in such systems.

6. Cooling metal spheres We want to quickly quench a liquid metal to make fine powder. We plane to do this by spraying drops into an oil bath. How can we estimate the cooling speed of the drops? No suitable heat transfer correlations! However, several mass transfer correlations for drops are given: For large drops without stirring: Sherwood number, kd/D ~ Nusselt number, hd/k Schmidt number, v/D ~ Prandtl number, v/α This correlation will be reliable only if the Grashöf number for the cooling falls in the same range as that used to develop the mass transfer correlation.

7. Heat transfer from a spinning disc Imagine that a spinning metal disc electrically heated to 30C is immersed in 1000 cm 3 of an emulsion at 18C. The disc is 3 cm in diameter and is turning at 10 rpm. The emulsion’s kinetic viscosity is 0.082 cm 2 /sec. After an hour, the emulsion is at 21C. What is its thermal diffusivity? Energy balance: I.C., t = 0, T = T 0 α = ? Mass transfer away from a spinning disc:

8. The situations in which mass transfer, heat transfer, and fluid flow occur at the same rate: the rates of mass, heat, and momentum transfer can be essentially the same for fluids in turbulent flow. Reynolds(1874): mass or heat transfer in a flowing fluid must involve two simultaneous processes: Natural diffusion of the fluid at rest the eddies caused by visible motion All caused by flow? a << bu a’ << b’u a’’ << b’’u Reynolds analogy

9. Reynolds analogy It suggests a simple relation between different transport phenomena. This relation should be accurate when transport occurs by means of turbulent eddies. We can estimate mass transfer coefficients from heat transfer coefficients or from friction factors! However, experimental results show that the Reynolds analogy is accurate for gases, but not for liquids .

10. The Chilton-Colburn analogy How to extend to liquid? By an analysis of experimental data: reduce to the Reynolds analogy for gases whose Schmidt and Prandtl numbers equal unity later apply theories, especially boundary layer theory, to rationalize the exponent of 2/3.

The air is fed at 60 g-mol/m 2 .sec with a dry-bulb temperature of 30C and a dew point temperature of 10C. The water flux should be 40% lower than the maximum allowed thermodynamically.

20. Experimental values: Table 20.5-1 The temperature gradient effect disappears rapidly for dilute solution and is largest when solute and solvent concentrations are similar.

21. Thermal diffusion is studied in a two-bulb apparatus. Each bulb is 3 cm 3 in volume; the capillary is 1 cm long and has an area of 0.01 cm 2 . The left-hand bulb is heated to 50C, and the right-hand bulb is kept at 0C. The entire apparatus is initially filled with an equilmolar mixture, either of hydrogen-methane or of ethanol-water. How much separation is achieved? About how long does this separation take? Thermal diffusion: gas mixture ethanol-water The separations are small; that with liquids is slightly larger but in the opposite direction.

22. Conclusions For gases, D and α are nearly equal, and k and are very similar. For liquids and solids, D is much less than α, and k is much less than For liquids and solids, the heat transfer is much more rapid than the mass transfer, and so proceeds as if the mass transfer did not exist. The two processes are essential uncoupled.
