Mass transfer co-efficient is defined as__________________?
Correct answer: B. Co-efficient = Flux/concentration difference
- A. Flux = Co-efficient/concentration difference
- B. Co-efficient = Flux/concentration difference
- C. Flux=concentration difference/coefficient
- D. None of these
Explanation
The mass-transfer coefficient is defined as the rate of mass flux divided by the driving concentration difference, so flux equals coefficient multiplied by concentration difference. Therefore, coefficient = flux/concentration difference.
