What is Mass Transfer Boundary Layer Thickness?

Mass transfer boundary layer thickness refers to the distance from a solid surface into a fluid where the concentration of a species (such as a solute or gas) changes significantly from its value at the surface to that of the bulk fluid. Within this boundary layer, mass transfer occurs primarily due to diffusion and convection. The thickness of this layer is influenced by factors such as fluid velocity, fluid properties, temperature, and surface roughness. A thinner boundary layer indicates more efficient mass transfer, as the concentration gradient is steeper, promoting faster diffusion. Understanding the mass transfer boundary layer thickness is essential in designing systems like chemical reactors, heat exchangers, and filtration processes, where optimizing mass transfer is crucial for overall performance.
