Fundamentals of Mass Transfer
This technical monograph provides a rigorous and systematic treatment of the physical and mathematical principles governing mass transfer processes. The text establishes the fundamental mechanisms of mass transport, specifically focusing on molecular diffusion (Fick’s laws) and convective mass transfer involving fluid motion. Author V. Kafarov examines the transport of species within a single phase and across interfaces, integrating the "Two-Resistance Theory" and various mass transfer coefficients essential for industrial applications. The book is specifically tailored for chemical engineering contexts, covering the design and modeling of essential separation processes such as distillation, absorption, extraction, and drying. By providing a solid theoretical framework combined with empirical correlations, this work serves as a vital reference for researchers and engineers in chemical technology and material science.
