Transient rates of diffusion through a liquid-liquid interface have been measured using a hamhrar jet. The system isobutanol-w\*ater at nominal contact times of 0.05 to 0.5 set exhibits what appears to be a small interfacial resistance of approximately 80 see/cm. Stability of the jet limits the vari

a n A rigorous analysis of jet hydrodynamics is used to develop a technique for determining diffusion coefficients from laminar liquid jet absorption experiments, and the influence of the jet fluid mechanics on the absorption process is clarified. The new technique is used to determine the diffusivities of carbon dioxide, oxygen, argon, nitrous oxide, ethylene, and propylene in water within the temperature range 25" to 40Β°C.
A critical analysis of available diffusivity data for these gases indicates that there is no conclusive evidence that demonstrates the existence of a significa:it interfacial resistance in uncontaminated laminar jet experiments. In addition, comparison of existing data shows that the commonly accepted diffusivities for the oxygen-water system may be significantly higher than the actual values. I t is concluded that the laminar jet experiment is a rapid, accurate method of obtaining diffusion coefficients of dissolved gases in liquids.

Ahstrati-Laminar liquid jets used in mass transfer studies have been generally discharged from convergent nozzles or oritices. The use of long straight capillary tubes to discharge the liquid jet is studied in this work and numerical values of the jet diameter and surface velocity are obtained. Thes
Rates of mass transfer in a liquid-liquid laminar jet for three component systems have been measured. The velocity at the liquid-liquid interface has also been measured to obtain the actual contact time. Except for a short jet where the end effect of the film of surface active agent (polyethylene gl
