The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

We report mass transfer coefficient correlations, at low Reynolds numbers for a novel cross-corrugated membrane reactor, which is being developed for a number of processes, most notably phase-transfer catalysed reactions. The presence of Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) waves saw a noticeable enhancement in mass transfer, giving characteristics usually only found in turbulent flow. Correlations for the channel wall and the channel corrugations are given in terms of dimensionless Sherwood numbers: ShCW = 0.0209Re0.7675Sc0.333 (200 < Re < 2300), ShCOR = 0.2477Re0.489Sc0.333 (200 < Re < 2300). © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
