Bejan Number - Mass Transfer

on 09 December 2019. Posted in Dimensionless Numbers

Bejan number - mass transfer, abbreviated as Be, a dimensionless number, is the pressure drop along a channel of length.

Bejan Number - Mass Transfer formula
\( Be \;=\; \Delta p \; l^2 \;/\; \mu \; D_m \) (Bejan Number - Mass Transfer) \( \Delta p \;=\; Be \; \mu \; Dm \;/\; l^2 \) \( l \;=\; \sqrt{ Be \; \mu \; Dm \;/\; \Delta p } \) \( \mu \;=\; \Delta p \; l^2 \;/\; Be \; Dm \) \( Dm \;=\; \Delta p \; l^2 \;/\; Be \; \mu \)

\( Be \) = Bejan Number	\(dimensionless\)	\(dimensionless\)
\( \Delta p \) = Pressure Drop	\(lbf\;/\;in^2\)	\(Pa\)
\( l \) = Length of Channel	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( \mu \) (Greek symbol mu) = Dynamic Viscosity	\(lbf-sec\;/\;ft^2\)	\( Pa-s \)
\( D_m \) = Mass Diffusivity	\(ft^2\;/\;sec\)	\(m^2\;/\;s\)
