Abstract

Theoretical relation derived in the last study for calculation of the mass transfer coefficient in the region of not fully developed concentration profile at high Schmidt numbers has been verified experimentally. This experimental study has been devoted to measurements of the rate of benzoic acid dissolution into aqueous solutions of glycerol from the internal surface of the pipe of circular cross section in the range 933 ⪬ Sc ⪬ 225 000 and 5 000 ⪬ Re ⪬ 50 000. It has been possible to explain on basis of the theoretical model, the differences between the data of various authors and to obtain a unified description of the phenomena.
