1.4.1.3. External Mass Transfer

Liquid mass transfer or convection coefficient is a flow dependent parameter, which is evaluated by use of empirical and semiempirical correlations. One of the most well-known correlations for use in water treatment situations is the following (Chern and Chien, 2002):

$S h = (2 + 0.644 {R e}^{1 / 2} S c^{1 / 3}) [1 + 1.5 (1 - ε)]$

In the adsorption processes for wastewater treatment by use of granular activated carbon the Williamson correlation is proposed (Crittenden et al., 1987):

$k_{f} = \frac{2.4 u_{s}}{S c^{0.58} R e^{0.66}}$
