Gas transfer coefficient (KL) is a crucial parameter in mass transfer operations, particularly in chemical engineering and environmental science. It quantifies the rate at which a gas transfers from one phase to another, typically from a liquid to a gas phase or vice versa. The coefficient is expressed in units of cm/hr or m/hr, depending on the system's units.
The gas transfer coefficient is influenced by several factors, including the physical properties of the liquid
In environmental science, the gas transfer coefficient plays a significant role in modeling the exchange of
The gas transfer coefficient can be correlated with other dimensionless numbers, such as the Sherwood number
Understanding and accurately determining the gas transfer coefficient is vital for optimizing mass transfer processes, improving
