Mass Transfer Coefficient Data from Floating Soluble Probe Experiments

Murilo de Souza Ferreira's laboratory study calibrates a floating solid soluble probe for estimating the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (Ka) at the air-water interface. Experiments were conducted in a jets stirred tank and a circular hydraulic channel under different turbulence levels, resulting in strong correlations (r = 0.953 and r = 0.895) between Ka and the dissolution rate of a soluble solid (VS). The dataset likely contains measurements from these surface reaeration and dissolution experiments.

Use Cases

• Calibrating models for oxygen transfer based on the correlation between Ka and VS.
• Studying the relationship between surface turbulence and mass transfer rates using Reynolds number data.
• Evaluating the performance of low-cost floating probe techniques for laboratory-scale water studies.

Strengths

• Strong correlation coefficients reported (r = 0.953 for tank, r = 0.895 for channel).
• Experiments conducted in two distinct apparatuses (jets stirred tank and circular hydraulic channel).
• Study explicitly examines the relationship between Ka, VS, and Reynolds number.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
