“…The most important mass transfer expressions for gas-liquid or liquid-liquid systems, without [1,2] and with chemical reaction [1,3,4] with constant or variable diffusion coefficients [1], were described in detail in previous literature [1][2][3][4]. Though the diffusion process, at least during single component transport, has a similar mechanism in the membrane layer than in a laminar fluid layer, against which there are two essential differences in the mass transport processes between the two cases [5,6], namely: (i) A convective velocity can exist in membrane transport, which can increase or decrease the overall (diffusive plus convective) flux, depending on the membrane's structure, the transmembrane pressure difference, and the interconnection between molecules, etc. ; (ii) the absence or presence of a sweeping phase on the permeate side.…”
