  2. Contents • Literature work • Motivation • Multi-component system • Influence of convection • Combined heat and mass transfer • Work plan • Expectation XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  3. Motivation • In CO2 absorption processes large mass and heat transfer driving forces occur several places, absorber bottom, water wash section and in the desorber. • Good fundamental models for the combined heat and mass transfer including chemical reaction and convective mechanisms are still lacking. • A proper description of the transfer processes is vital for improved absorption process simulation and optimization.

  5. Multi-components system • Conventional approaches to mass transfer in multi-component mixtures are based on an assumption that the transfer flux of each component is proportional to its own driving force. • Ross Taylor & R. Krishna, (1993) XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  6. Fick’s Law • Diffusion in binary mixtures: • Multi-component Fickian Diffusion Coefficients • Obtained from composition profiles measured in a diffusion apparatus. • Wilke (1950), Dunlop, 1972; Cussler, (1976); • Tyrrell and Harris, (1984); • Schiesser, (1991) XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  7. Maxwell-Stefan Equation • Derivation of Maxwell-Stefan equation • Sum of driving force = Sum of friction force • Theoretic significance • Driving force including • Gravity driving force (usually ignored) • Chemical potential driving force; Frank, (1994); • Pressure driving force • Centrifugal driving force • Electrical potential driving force; Schneider, R. (1999) XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  8. Mass transfer theories • Penetration Theory (Higbie, 1935) • Small fluid eddy; Retention time τ • Samanta, A. (2007); Tobiesen, F. A. (2007); • van Elk, E. P. (2007); Zhang, X. (2004); • Mandal, B. P. (2001); Bhat, R. D. Vas, (1998); • Surface renewal theory (Danckwerts, 1951) • Based on Penetration Model; Statistical age distribution function Φ(θ) • Li, Zhengxing (2007); Shen, Shuhua (2007); • Rahimpour, M. R. (2004); Pacheco, M. A. (2000); • Film theory (Lewis & Whitman, 1924) • Steady state; Thickness of film δ; XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  10. Modeling separately • Model in liquid phase • Similar property of amines • Water > 90 mol% • Seen as binary mixture • Using Fick’s Law XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  11. Modeling separately • Model in gas phase • More complicated • Differences between each components • Using Maxwell-Stefan Equation XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System

  12. Combined model • Assumptions • Equilibrium at the interface • Driving force is caused by chemical potential (Liquid) • Consider fugacity driving forces (Gas) • Convective contributions • …… • Combine such models above by using Henry’s Law at the interface XIAO LUO, Combined Heat and Mass Transfer Model in Amines System
