Mass transfer is a fundamental process in all areas of the physical sciences, including in materials, chemical engineering and physics, to name but a few. Spanning more than a dozen chapters, "Mass Transfer: Systems and Applications" offers an up-to-date insight into current challenges, trends and innovations in the field. In the first part, mass transfer in chemical engineering processes is explored through new work on topics such as adiabatic adsorption, amine absorption, membrane gas separation, and microbial fuel cells. In part two, the contributors offer new insights into mass transfer in multiphase systems. They present their research findings on subjects including mass transfer in steelmaking, mass transfer coefficient for the prediction of wood drying curves, and approaches to the estimation of mass transfer parameters in bubble columns. Finally, in part three, advanced topics are explored, pointing towards new innovations and directions in the field. Contributors examine topics including mass transfer through cavitation in turbomachinery, and the application of liquid-film forming apparatus for better oxygen transfer efficiency in diffused aeration systems. This is a wide-ranging book with a focus on recent innovations in real-world processes, and it will be an excellent resource for students and researchers as well as engineers.
