The authors examined transfer of hydrogen gas from a salt solution in a high level radioactive tank. Utilizing existing data, we developed a methodology to estimate the liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient of hydrogen and benzene under varying conditions. These analyses indicate the impact of the operational and system parameters on the liquid-phase mass transfer coefficient for hydrogen and benzene. We compared the results to a published model of mass transfer coefficients, and noticed discrepancies between the measured mass transfer coefficients and those predicted by the model.
