Mass transfer with chemical reaction inside single droplets and gas bubbles: Mathematical mechanisms

Abstract

Abstract The effect of a first order homogeneous chemical reaction on the rate of mass transfer inside liquid droplets and gas bubbles was determined. One of the models presented assumes the non‐oscillating dispersed phase is moving in the creeping flow region and the Hadamard stream functions are applicable. The results of the numerical solution of this model are presented graphically as a function of the Peclet number, reaction number, and dimensionless contact time. An oscillating droplet model is also presented which considers the effect of reaction within the dispersed phase.
