mass transfer
Let an agent explain mass transfer, relay mechanisms, laws, dimensionless numbers and applications from chemical engineering and transport phenomena sources, describe the named aliases and flag the sediment terms, and distinguish mass transfer from heat transfer, momentum transfer, chemical reaction and sediment transport.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
The net movement of mass, such as a chemical species, from one location to another, driven by concentration gradients through diffusion and by bulk fluid motion through convection, central to chemical engineering operations such as distillation, absorption, extraction, drying and membrane processes, including permeation through membranes, and described by Fick s laws and mass transfer coefficients; the registry aliases stream load and bed material load name sediment transported by rivers, a related geomorphology concept of sediment transport, and appear misfiled. Analogies between heat, mass and momentum transfer are widely used.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain mass transfer, relay mechanisms, laws, dimensionless numbers and applications from chemical engineering and transport phenomena sources, describe the named aliases and flag the sediment terms, and distinguish mass transfer from heat transfer, momentum transfer, chemical reaction and sediment transport.

- Should permeation be a separate entry?
- How should transport phenomena references be linked?
