Abstract
The integral equation of a diffusion boundary layer has been analyzed to show that the existence of a resulting mass flow through the phase interface (process nonequimolarity) in two-phase gas (vapor)-liquid systems leads to the structural transformation of the traditional (phenomenological) mass-transfer equation. The application of a new structure valid for both binary and multicomponent mixtures considerably simplifies the approach to the description and generalization of any processes of mass transfer. The structure has been verified by generalizing numerous experimental data on the evaporation and condensation of pure components in an inert medium as the most typical nonequimolar processes.
