Mass Transfer on Perforated Tray

Abstract

A stochastic model of liquid mixing on perforated tray is applied to a mass transfer process. This model represents successfully the experimental results of the physical absorption or desorption process.
The relation between liquid mixing parameter and efficiency of mass transfer is simulated by this stochastic model. The results are as follows : 1) the efficiency of mass transfer is reduced by both of the Lagrangian time scale and the fluctuating velocity of liquid ; 2) the efficiency of mass transfer is affected more remarkable by the Lagrangian time scale than by the fluctuating velocity of liquid.
