Mass transfer properties of osmotic solutions. II. Diffusivities

Abstract

Mass transport properties of osmotic solutions are important in controlling osmotic dehydration process. In the first paper of the series “Mass Transfer Properties of Osmotic Solutions”;, data of water activities, osmotic pressure, osmosities or osmolalities and solute activities are presented. In the present paper, the literature data on diffusivities of both binary and multi‐component osmotic solutions are presented. Some aspects of measurement methodology and mass transfer modeling are also discussed.
