2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define diffusion in the context of mass transfer.
Think about how smells spread in the air.
What does the mass transfer coefficient represent?
Remember it influences how quickly contaminants can move.
What is the primary mechanism for mass transfer in stagnant environments?
Think about how pollutants spread slowly in still water.
True or False: Convection can enhance the mass transfer rates of contaminants.
Recall how moving water can carry particles faster.
Given a pollution incident where a substance has a concentration of 50 mg/L in sediment, calculate the expected flux into water if the mass transfer coefficient is 0.1 m/s.
Consider the mass transfer model you've learned.
A river's flow rate increases due to a storm. Discuss how this might affect the contaminants' behavior in the sediments and the surrounding environment.
Think about how turbulence impacts sediment and mass transfer.
