Gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients
 

Hi, I am a newbie.
We have measured mass transfer coefficient from experiments and we want to validate it using STAR CCM+. The process is absorption of SO2(gas) to water (liquid).


Following are some questions:
(1).Can we calculate overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient of SO2 (say K_L*a)? If yes, what is the procedure?
(2) Can we calculate volumetric mass transfer coefficient in individual phases (in liquid, k_l*a and in gas, k_g*a)? If yes, what is the procedure?

Thanx
