Mass transfer process occurs as effect of contact between continuous phase from above and dispersed phase from underside column. With existence of size and type of packing in column, that caused interfacial area to become bigger and residence time more and older so that improvement of mass transfer process. The aim of this research is to observe drop dynamics or movement behavior of drop in which the drop diameter size grouped based on current regime deputizing with Reynolds Number (Re) and to study mass transfer liquid-liquid extraction in packed column based on drop diameter size influenced by flow rate and packing type. Observation of drop behavior is done by using length square column transparent so that visually drop dynamics can be observed and recorded at every segment of column height using digital camera. This research will be done by varying packing type and flow rate of the dispersed phase and continuous phase to know behavior of drop. The research will be done by using water–MEK (methyl ethyl ketone)–n-hexane system. The result of this research for packing type of sphere and raschig ring show that more and more big dispersed phase flow rate and height from under side column (distributor), hence drop is more and more small with number of which more and more many. This caused significant increase on overall mass transfer coefficient.Keywords: drop distribution, sphere, raschig ring, drop diameter Abstrak Proses perpindahan massa ekstraksi cair-cair dalam kolom isian terjadi akibat adanya kontak antara fase kontinu dan fase dispersi yang dialirkan secara berlawanan. Berbagai macam ukuran dan jenis isian yang digunakan dalam kolom, menyebabkan luas permukaan kontak menjadi lebih besar dan waktu kontak makin lama sehingga terjadi peningkatan proses perpindahan massa. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengamati dinamika pergerakan tetesan dengan cara mengelompokkan ukuran diameter tetesan berdasarkan pada rezim aliran yang diwakilkan dengan Bilangan Reynold (Re) dan mempelajari perpindahan massa pada ekstrasi cair-cair dalam kolom isian yang didasarkan ukuran diameter tetesan yang dipengaruhi laju alir dan jenis isian. Pengamatan perilaku tetesan dilakukan dengan menggunakan kolom persegi panjang yang transparan sehingga secara visual dinamikanya dapat diamati dan direkam pada tiap segmen ketinggian kolom menggunakan kamera digital. Percobaan dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem air-MEK (metil etil keton)-n-heksan. Hasil penelitian untuk jenis isian bola padat dan raschig ring menunjukkan bahwa makin besar laju alir fase dispersi dan ketinggian dari bagian bawah (distributor), maka tetesannya makin kecil dengan jumlah yang makin banyak. Hal ini menyebabkan kenaikan yang signifikan terhadap koefisien perpindahan massa keseluruhan.Kata kunci: distribusi tetesan, bola, raschig ring, diameter tetesan.

The problem of volumetric thermal action on a moist porous medium is considered. Numerical solution, the influence of fluid mobility on the dynamics of the heat and mass transfer process is analyzed. It is established that fluid mobility leads to a softer drying regime. It is shown that in low-permeability media, the fluid can be assumed to be stationary.

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive review of the remarkable achievements by Chinese scientists and engineers who have contributed to the multiscale process design, with emphasis on the transport mechanisms in stirred reactors, extractors, and rectification columns. After a brief review of the classical theory of transport phenomena, this paper summarizes the domestic developments regarding the relevant experiments and numerical techniques for the interphase mass transfer on the drop/bubble scale and the micromixing in the single-phase or multiphase stirred tanks in China. To improve the design and scale-up of liquid-liquid extraction columns, new measurement techniques with the combination of both particle image velocimetry and computational fluid dynamics have been developed and advanced modeling methods have been used to determine the axial mixing and mass transfer performance in extraction columns. Detailed investigations on the mass transfer process in distillation columns are also summarized. The numerical and experimental approaches modeling transport phenomena at the vicinity of the vapor-liquid interface, the point efficiency for trays/packings regarding the mixing behavior of fluids, and the computational mass transfer approach for the simulation of distillation columns are thoroughly analyzed. Recent industrial applications of mathematical models, numerical simulation, and experimental methods for the design and analysis of multiphase stirred reactors/crystallizers, extractors, and distillation columns are seen to garnish economic benefits. The current problems and future prospects are pinpointed at last.
