Mass transfer co-efficient (K) and diffusivity D. are related according to film theory as______________________?

Correct answer: A. K ∝ D

  • A. K ∝ D
  • B. K ∝√D
  • C. K ∝ D1.5
  • D. K ∝ D2

Explanation

Film theory gives the mass-transfer coefficient as approximately diffusivity divided by film thickness, K ≈ D/δ. With film thickness treated as fixed, K is directly proportional to D.
