How to Calculate and Solve for Mobility | Mass Transfer

The image above represents mobility. To calculate mobility, two essential parameters are needed: Steady State Velocity (v∞) and Drag Force (F).

The formula for calculating mobility:

B = v∞ / F

Where:

B = Mobility
v∞ = Steady State Velocity
F = Drag Force

Let’s solve an example;
Find the mobility when the steady state velocity is 22 and the drag force is 11.

This implies that;

v∞ = Steady State Velocity = 22
F = Drag Force = 11

That is, B = v∞ / F
B = 22 / 11
B = 2

Therefore, the mobility is 2 m/Ns.

Calculating the Steady State Velocity when the Mobility and the Drag Force are Given

v∞ = B x F

Where;

v∞ = Steady State Velocity
B = Mobility
F = Drag Force

Let’s solve an example;
Find the steady state velocity when the mobility is 14 and the drag force is 2.

This implies that;

B = Mobility = 14
F = Drag Force = 2

v∞ = B x F
So, v∞ = 14 x 2
v∞ = 28

Therefore, the steady state velocity is 28 m/s.

Calculating the Drag Force when the Mobility and the Steady State Velocity are Given

F = v∞ / B

Where:

F = Drag Force
B = Mobility
v∞ = Steady State Velocity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the drag force when the mobility is 10 and the steady state velocity is 30.

This implies that;

B = Mobility = 10
v∞ = Steady State Velocity = 30

F = v∞ / B
That is, F = 30 / 10
F = 3

Therefore, the drag force is 3 N.
