Abstract
A new method is proposed for the correlation of mass transfer in the flow of gases through packed beds. This method is based on an empirical extension of the equations of Lin, Moulton, and Putham and von Karman. The proposed equation agrees well with data on the vaporization from solids over a range of Schmidt numbers from 0.24 to 3.15. Modifications of the proposed equation appear to be applicable to mass transfer in packed col umns with liquid flow and to psychrometric work. More extensive data will be necessary to confirm the suitabilitv of these applications. (auth)
