Mass transfer to a drop stream from a field liquid

摘要

Mass transfer from a stream of drops falling freely in a stagnant liquid was investigated. Drop streams were produced by a dripping method and by a jet breakup method. Water and isobutanol, mutually saturated, were used as the dispersed and the continuous phases. Sodium hydroxide was transferred from isobutanol to water drops which were initially free of solute. The mass transfer resistance is on the continuous phases side.
