Interfacial mass transfer resistance at fluid-fluid interfaces (opens in new tab)

Complex chemistry in nano- and microscale compartments is often governed by how quickly reagents transit a fluid-fluid interface. Mass transport across interfaces is commonly modeled by assuming local equilibrium, enforcing continuity of chemical potential across the interface. While adequate at large scales, this approximation may break down at the microscale, where interfacial processes can become rate-limiting. Here, we extend linear irrevers...
