Characterisation Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Characterisation Factor = ((Molal Average Boiling Point)^(1/3))/Specific Gravity
C_f = ((T_BP)^(1/3))/SG
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Characterisation Factor - Characterisation Factor is defined as a quantitative representation of the (relative) importance of a specific intervention.
Molal Average Boiling Point - (Measured in Rankine) - Molal Average Boiling Point (MABP) is defined a measure of the boiling point of a mixture of compounds.
Specific Gravity - Specific Gravity is defined as a measure of the density of a substance in comparison to the density of a reference material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Molal Average Boiling Point: 1549.53 Rankine --> 1549.53 Rankine No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity: 0.82 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_f = ((T_BP)^(1/3))/SG --> ((1549.53)^(1/3))/0.82

Evaluating ... ...

What is the significance of Characterisation factor?

The characterization factor is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the rate of mass transfer between two phases. It is defined as the ratio of the mass transfer coefficient to the diffusivity of the diffusing species. The higher the characterization factor, the faster the rate of mass transfer.
