A scientist is studying the rate of pollution removal from a lake. She finds that at higher flow velocities, the contamination levels drop faster due to increased turbulence. If the mass transfer coefficient at 5 m/s is measured to be 0.2 m/s, and at 10 m/s it increases to 0.5 m/s, how could she use this information to improve pollutant remediation strategies?
💡 Hint: Consider how varying flow rates impact the efficiency of cleanup efforts.
Given a concentration gradient of 80 mg/L at the surface and 20 mg/L in the bulk fluid, calculate the driving force of the mass transfer. If the flow velocity increases, how might that affect the flux if the mass transfer coefficient remains unchanged?
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between concentration differences and flow velocities.
