What is convective mass transfer Coefficient?

The convective mass transfer coefficient is a crucial parameter that quantifies the rate of mass transfer between a solid surface and a moving fluid, such as air or water, driven by convection. It reflects how efficiently mass is transported away from or toward the surface, influenced by factors like fluid velocity, temperature, viscosity, and surface properties. A higher convective mass transfer coefficient indicates more effective mass transfer, which is important in processes like heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and drying operations. Understanding this coefficient is essential for engineers to design and optimize systems where mass transfer significantly impacts performance. It allows for better control of processes, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in various applications.
