Textbook in PDF format Applications of the Surface Renewal Model of Mass Transfer provides a rigorous application of the surface renewal theory of mass transfer to describe physical and chemical gas absorption and membrane filtration. This book demonstrates that the surface renewal model can predict the experimentally measured liquid-side physical mass-transfer coefficient in gas absorption with a fair degree of accuracy, shows that the surface renewal model can correlate permeate flux and transmembrane pressure drop data in constant pressure and constant flux microfiltration, and contains numerous examples of the application of the model to real-world situations
