The book eff ectively blends theoretical, numerical, modeling, and experimental aspects of mass transfer in multiphase sys- tems that are usually encountered in many research areas such as chemical, reactor, environmental and petroleum engineering. From biological and chemical reactors to paper and wood industry and all the way to thin fi lm, the 31 chapters of this book serve as an important reference for any researcher or engineer working in the fi eld of mass transfer and related topics. The fi rst chapter focuses on the description and modeling of mass transfer processes occurring between two fl uid phases in a porous medium, while the second chapter is concerned with the basic principles underlying transport phenomena and chemical reaction in single- and multi-phase systems in porous media. Chapter 3 introduces the multiphase modeling of thermomechanical behavior of early-age silicate composites. The surfactant transfer in multiphase liquid systems under conditions of weak gravita- tional convection is presented in Chapter 4. In the fi  h chapter the volumetric mass transfer coeffi cient for multiphase mechani- cally agitated gas–liquid and gas–solid–liquid systems is obtained experimentally. Further, gas-liquid mass transfer analysis in an unbaffl ed vessel agitated by unsteadily forward-reverse rotating multiple impellers is provided in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 dis- cuses the kinetic model of fl otation based on the theory of mass transfer in gas-liquid bubbly fl ows. The eighth chapter deals with experimental investigation of mass trans- fer and wall shear stress, and their interaction at the concurrent gas-liquid fl ow in a vertical tube, in a channel with fl ow turn, and in a channel with abrupt expansion. The laminar mixed convection with mass transfer and phase change of fl ow reversal in channels is studied in the ninth chapter, and the tenth chapter exemplifi es the theoreti- cal aspects of the liquid-liquid extraction with and without a chemical reaction and the dimensioning of the extractors with original experimental work and interpretations. The eleventh chapter introduces analysis of the existing theories and concepts of solid- state diff usion mass transfer in metals during mechanical alloying. In Chapter 12 the mass transfer coeffi cient is given for diff erent situations (liquid-liquid, liquid-gas and liquid-solid) of two-phase mass transfer of steelmaking processes. Chapter 13 discuss- es the eff ect of Marangoni Instability on thin liquid fi lm, thinker liquid layer and mass transfer devices. X Preface Chapter 14 provides a review of model permi ing the determination of wood drying rate represented by an overall mass transfer coeffi cient and a driving force. Moreoever, transport phenomena in paper and wood-based panels’ production are discussed in Chapter 15. In the sixteenth chapter the eff ect of lutetium doping on oxygen permeability in poly- crystalline alumina wafers exposed to steep oxygen potential gradients was evaluated at high temperatures to investigate the mass-transfer phenomena. Mass transfer in- vestigation of organic acid extraction with trioctylamine and aliquat336 dissolved in various solvents is introduced in Chapter 17. Chapter 18 is focused on the development of semi-theoretical methods for calculation of gas holdup, interfacial area and liquid-phase mass transfer coeffi cients in gas-liquid and slurry bubble column reactors. Chapter 19 investigates the infl uence of mass trans- fer and kinetics on biodiesel (fa y acid alkyl) production process. The physical-mathematical model of heat and mass transfer and condensation capture of fi ne dust on fl uid droplets dispersed in jet scrubbers is suggested and analyzed in Chapter 20, while Chapter 21 is devoted to investigate mass transfer in fi ltration com- bustion processes. The twenty-second chapter describes the merits of using hollow fi ber supported liquid membranes (HFSLM), one of liquid membranes in supported (not clear) structures, and how mass transfer involves step-by-step in removing arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg). The twenty-third chapter presents an overview of the various mechanisms contribut- ing to particulate drying in a bubbling fl uidized bed and the mass transfer coeffi cient corresponding to each mechanism. A mathematical model and numerical simulation for hydriding/dehydriding process in a tubular type MH reactor packed with LaNi5 were provided in the twenty-fourth chapter. Chapter 25 is dedicated to the mass trans- fer coeffi cient around freely moving active particles in the dense phase of a fl uidized bed. Chapter 26 is aimed at reviewing transport across biological membranes, with an emphasis on intestinal absorption, its model analysis and permeability prediction. The objective of the twenty-seventh chapter is to provide comprehensive information on theoretical-experimental analysis of coupled heat and mass transfer in packed bed drying of shrinking particles. The twenty-eighth chapter focuses on vapour-liquid mass transfer infl uence on the prediction of RD column behaviour neglecting the liq- uid-solid and intraparticle mass transfer. Mass transfer through catalytic membrane layer is studied in Chapter 29. In chapter 30 three types of bioreactors and stirred tank applied to biological systems are introduced and a mathematical model is developed. Finally in Chapter 31 analytical solutions of mass transfer around a prolate or an oblate spheroid immersed in a packed bed are obtained.
