Abstract
A generalized perturbation approach is presented for the analysis of the simultaneous absorption of two gases in a liquid accompanied by a chemical reaction. The main objective is to derive approximate analytical solutions for the enhancement factors of the solute gases, for all reaction rates. The method consists of constructing a regular perturbation solution for slow reaction, whose convergence is accelerated by means of an Euler transformation, thereby extending its range of utility for larger reaction rates. Convergence is further improved by suppressing the leading singularity of the Euler-transformed series. The accelerated solution is found to predict the enhancement factors very accurately in the slow, intermediate and fast reaction regimes, and in particular, approach the boundary layer limit associated with fast reaction.
