Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.1.2 Mass transfer overview

Course subject(s) 4. Mass transfer

In this chapter you will become familiar with a new phenomenon: if you are dealing with two distinct phases, such as a water layer and an oil layer, mass transport can also take place. You will learn how to determine the amount of this kind of mass transport, with the distribution coefficients of a component between different phases and why these coefficients differ. Furthermore, you will learn about the wet bulb temperature that makes it able to calculate the absolute and relative humidity.
