Convective mass transfer for laminar flow (acidizing)
Input(s)
\(D_{A}\): Diffusion Coefficient of Component A \(\left(\mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)
\(\partial c_{A} / \partial Y\): Concentration Gradient \(\left(\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{cm}^{4}\right)\)
\(c_{a}\) : Concentration of Flowing Acid \(\left(\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)\)
\(V_{N}\): Fluid Velocity Normal to the Surface \((\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})\)
Output(s)
\(U_{a, y}\): Diffusion Flux of a Component A in \(\mathrm{Y}\) direction \(\left(\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{cm}^{2} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)
Formula(s)
\[
U_{a, y}=-D_{A} \frac{\partial c_{a}}{\partial Y}+c_{a} V_{N}
\]
