► A new model for the prediction of mass transfer performance is presented. ► The model combines hydraulics and mass transfer in one physical concept. ► It allows calculation of liquid side mass transfer for all kinds of random packings.
The following work presents a new, generally applicable model for description of the mass transfer in the liquid phase for packed columns filled with random dumped non-perforated and lattice-type packing with size between 12 and 90
mm for gas–liquid systems in operating range up to flooding point.
The new equation for evaluation of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient in the liquid phase

was derived on the basis of the assumption that liquid flows down in packed bed mainly in the form of droplets and that effective interfacial area

depends on hold-up in packed bed. The relation between the fluid dynamics and the mass transfer is shown based on the channel model with a partly open structure.
The experimentally derived values for the effective mass transfer area in different types of random packings
