Mass transfer model: N1  k 1  c 1i  c 1  k  c

N1: rate of mass transferred per area (flux) at the interface

c1i : concentration at the interface of phase A
c1 : concentration in the bulk of phase A
k : Mass Transfer Coefficient (MTC) [cm/s]

N1 includes both diffusion and convection!

Comparison with Fick's first law: j  D  c

D = diffusion coefficient [cm2/s]
