.ThermalSeparation.FilmModel.BaseClasses.MaxwellStefan

Information

In this class the molar flow rates between bulk and film are calculated using the Maxwell-Stefan equation. They supply an equation for N_dot for nSL-1 and nSV-1 components respectively (called rate equations). The missing equations are the summation equations at the phase boundary. The matrix R in the rate equations can be obtained from the binary mass transfer coefficients (see ComputeR). The correlations for the mass transfer coefficients are dependent on the column geometry. Therefore this model has to be instantiated for each different column type: StructuredPackedColumn.MS, RandomPackedColumn.MS, SprayColumn.MS and TrayColumn.MS. In these child classes the equations for mass transfer coefficients and interfacial area are provided.
