CALCULATION OF CONVECTIVE TRANSFER OF WATER-SOLUBLE COMPOUNDS WITH ACCOUNT FOR SORPTION KINETICS
G. P. Brovka UDC 519.6 An asymptotic solution is obtained for the equation of convective diffusion of water-soluble compounds with account for sorption kinetics with the linear isotherm of the sorption of them by a solid disperse phase. It is shown that the hydrodispersion is proportional to the squared linear velocity of a liquid flow and is inversely proportional to the mass-transfer coefficient which determines the rate of establiment of the sorption equilibrium.
