Accommodation

Combined gas-phase and interfacial mass transfer coefficient k_mt for gas-particle exchange. k_mt is the inverse of the total resistance to mass transfer, which is the sum of two resistances in series: (1) gas-phase diffusion resistance tau_g = R_p²/(3 D_g), and (2) interfacial resistance tau_i = (R_p/3α) √(2πM_A/(RT)) arising from the finite accommodation probability and molecular speed. The reciprocal relation k_mt = 1/(tau_g + tau_i) (Seinfeld & Pandis 2006, Chapter 12, Eq. 12.116) determines the overall rate at which a gaseous species is transferred to or from the particle surface.
