The fate of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) in the environment and the consequential remediation problems have been intensively studied over the last 50 years. However, a scarce literature is present about the mass transfer at the DNAPL/water interface. In this paper, we present a fast method for the evaluation of the mass transfer performance of a surfactant that can easily be employed to support an effective choice for the so-called enhanced remediation strategies. We developed a lab-scale experimental system modelled by means of simple ordinary differential equations to calculate the mass transfer coefficient (K) of trichloroethylene, chosen as representative DNAPL, in the presence and in the absence of two ethoxylated alcohols belonging to the general class of Synperonic surfactants. Our findings revealed that it exists an optimal surfactant concentration range, where K increases up to 40% with respect to pure water.

Relations describing the mass transfer accompanied by an irreversible first order chemical reaction are derived, based on the formerly published general theoretical concepts of interfacial mass transfer. These relations are compared with experimental results taken from literature.

A pilot-scale experimental system of filling gasoline into a tank was built to investigate gasoline vapor-air mass transfer in the tank gas space and the vapor evaporation loss from the tank in different operating conditions. The results showed that the higher the location of filling pipe exit inside the tank, the quicker the speed of the filling gasoline, and the higher the initial vapor concentration in the tank gas space, then the more severe the vapor-air convective transport and the larger the gasoline evaporation loss rates.

The non-condensable gas is used to keep the pressure stable in the steam-gas pressurizer. The processes of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation in the presence of non-condensable gas play an important role and the thermal hydraulic characteristics in the pressurizer is particularly complicated due to the non-condensable gas. The effects of non-condensable gas on the process of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation were experimental investigated. A steam condensation experimental system under high pressure and natural convection was built and nitrogen was chosen in the experiments. The steam and nitrogen were considered in thermal equilibrium and shared the same temperature in the vessel under natural convection. In the experiments, the factors, for instance, pressure, mass fraction of nitrogen, subcooling of wall and the distribution of nitrogen in the steam, had been taken into account. The rate of heat transfer of steam condensation on the vertical wall with nitrogen was obtained and the heat transfer coefficients were also calculated. The characteristics curve of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation with non-condensable gas under high pressure were obtained and an empirical correlation was introduced to calculated to heat transfer coefficient of steam condensation with nitrogen which the calculation results showed great agreement with the experimental data.
