β¦ Synopsis
A generalized correlation is proposed for the values of effective interfacial area during Vaporization, Absorption with and without Chemical Reaction and the values of wetted surface area in terms of dimensionless numbers. The values of effective interfacial area are analysed based on the concept of static and dynamic area, which appears to represent the mechanism of mass transfer for the above cases.
A generalized correlation in terms of Hatta'a group or the reaction factor is also proposed. The results are limited to packed columns with liquid as the dispersed and gas as the continuous phase operated counter-currently below the loading point.
