Mass transfer efficiency can be measured and analyzed using several techniques:
1. Sherwood Number (Sh): This dimensionless number represents the ratio of convective mass transfer to diffusive mass transfer. A higher Sherwood number indicates better mass transfer efficiency. 2. Mass Transfer Coefficient (km): This coefficient quantifies the rate of mass transfer per unit area per unit concentration difference. 3. Residence Time Distribution (RTD): Analyzing the residence time distribution of reactants in the reactor can provide insights into the efficiency of mass transfer.
