Details

Consider a second-order reaction between dissolved gaseous species and a nonvolatile liquid species . The reaction factor for this second-order gas-liquid reaction is given by:

, where and .

The Hatta number, , is a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the rate of chemical absorption to the rate of physical absorption for species . Here (where is a stoichiometric coefficient for species ), gives ratios of diffusivities and concentrations, and and are two dimensionless parameters. All parameters are defined in [1].
