Mass Transfer
Mass transfer analysis allows engineers to simulate mass in transit due to gradients in the concentration of species within a mixture
(where the transfer is due to random molecular motion).
"Species transport" is an analogous name for this type of mass transfer and a typical application is chemical species through a membrane.
The solution of mass transfer is to determine the species concentration distribution and corresponding species flux over a time interval.
As implemented in ALGOR, the mass transfer occurs via Poisson mode which considers diffusion mass transfer balance only.
There are no convective terms included, and the species do not interact with each other.
Poisson mode can be applied for both fluid and solid phases.
Multiple species may be involved in each part of the model.
