Mass Transfer and Evaporation

This lecture covers the concepts of mass transfer and evaporation, starting with Nukiyama's experiment and the analogy between mass and heat transfer. It delves into diffusion coefficients, Prandtl number, and the Reynolds analogy. The Chilton-Colburn and Reynolds Colburn analogies are discussed, along with examples on gas mixtures and specific humidity. The notion of saturation pressure and relative humidity are explained, followed by an example on determining the properties of room air. The lecture concludes with a table on the saturation pressure of water at different temperatures.
