Abstract:

Control of solute flux entering a carrier gas stream requires a knowledge of the solute distribution in the liquid during the evaporation and the gas-phase boundary layer characteristics at the surface of the liquid. A mathematical analysis is presented of the solute redistribution in a one-dimensional liquid system as a function of position and time during evaporation at a constant rate. Evaporation kinetics are assumed to be sufficiently rapid for equilibrium to prevail at the surface of the liquid and the evaporation flux is assumed to be transport controlled. It is further assumed that the flow of carrier gas is sufficient to produce a solute boundary layer of thickness 2L at the surface. The solute concentration outside this boundary layer is that of the in-coming carrier gas. Cases of 1 purely diffusional transport in the liquid no mixing and 2 primarily convective transport in the liquid partial mixing are considered. Author
