Abstract
AbstractThe present work extends the Integral Boundary Layer (IBL) Method to centrifugal force driven thin film flow with mass transfer. The proposed hybrid approach combines the IBL based solution of the flow field with a Finite Difference based solution of the mass transport equation, avoiding any concentration profile assumptions and restrictions on surface chemistry. In comparison against results from highly resolved Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the proposed concept is proven as a computationally efficient and accurate method well applicable to infinitely fast surface reactions as well as finite rate kinetics.
