Hydrodynamic characteristics of a liquid membrane permeation system for separation of toluene from a mixture of heptane and toluene were studied. The mass transfer coefficient was well correlated in terms of three dimensionless numbers: Sherwood, Schmidt and Reynolds. By using the correlation equation, a correction factor with respect to intrinsic permeation rate was evaluated from the experimental data under various non-ideal flow conditions.
