Abstract

Numerical investigation of the extraction process in a T shaped micro channel makes the model for the extraction proces, for increased extraction efficiency an enhanced mass transfer between the two phases. The extraction rate can be controlled precisely by adjusting operational parameters such as the flow rate and the flow rate ratio. Here the work studied the extraction of phenol from dodecane using water as solvent. Process is modelled and the extraction ratios are compared with the experimental data published by Okubo . et al [14]. Different modelling approaches attempted include pseudo mass transfer coefficient model (1D model) and two dimensional unsteady state diffusion model. IN pseudo mass transfer coefficient model a suitable value of mass transfer coefficient is chosen so as to match experimental results. Hence the model provides a method for predicting mass transfer coefficient. Two dimensional unsteady state diffusion models is comprehensive and considers diffusion in both directions. The diffusivities are calculated using the Wile Chang equation. Predictions of all the three models at different velocities are tabulated and compared.
