Abstract
The mass transfer coefficient of calcium citrate-water system was determine d by the conductivity measurement. The range of the measured coefficient is 2.65 x 10(-6) m/s +/- 35% at 25.5 degreesC, independent of particle size a nd rpm under a full solid suspension condition. The prediction of the effec ts of particle size and agitation on the coefficient based on the classic m ass trafer theories is also discussed.
