The nonaqueous-phase liquid (NAPL)–water interfacial area and the mass transfer rate across the NAPL and water interface are often key factors in in situ groundwater pollution treatment. In this study, the NAPL–water interfacial area and residual NAPL saturation were measured using interfacial and partitioning tracer tests in a two-dimensional flow cell. The results were compared with previous column and field experiment results. In addition, the mass transfer rates at various NAPL–water interfacial areas were investigated. Fe2+-activated persulfate was used for in situ chemical oxidation remediation to remove NAPL gradually. The results showed that the reduction of NAPL–water interfacial areas as well as NAPL saturation by chemical oxidation caused a linear decrease in the interphase mass transfer rates (R2 = 0.97), revealing the relationship between mass transfer rates and interfacial areas in a two-dimensional system. The NAPL oxidation rates decreased with the reduction of interfacial areas, owing to the control of NAPL mass transfer into the aqueous phase.

A naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to study the mass transfer distribution on the suction (convex) surface of a simulated turbine blade. Comparison with a heat transfer study shows good agreement in the general trends in the region of two-dimensional flow on the blade. Near the endwall, local connective coefficients on the suction surface are obtained at 4608 locations from two separate runs. The secondary flows in the passage significantly affect the mass transfer rate on the suction surface and their influence extends to a height of 75 percent of the chord length, from the endwall, in the trailing edge region. The mass transfer rate in the region near the endwall is extremely high due to small but intense vortices. Thus, a large variation in the mass transfer distribution occurs on the suction surface, from a mass transfer Stanton number of 0.0005 to a maximum of 0.01. In the two-dimensional flow region, the mass transfer distributions at two different Reynolds numbers are presented.
