Q1: Penetration model (theory) for mass transfer was enunciated byA Danckwerts
B Toor and Marchello
C Higbie

ANS:C - Higbie The Higbie penetration theory, formulated by George E. Higbie in 1935, is a fundamental model used to describe mass transfer in fluid systems, particularly in situations involving the diffusion of solute species across a stagnant or slowly moving fluid boundary layer adjacent to a solid surface. In the Higbie penetration theory, it is assumed that the concentration gradient at the surface of the solid is the driving force for mass transfer, and diffusion is the dominant mechanism governing the transport of the solute through the boundary layer. The theory provides a mathematical framework for calculating the rate of mass transfer across the boundary layer based on the concentration difference between the bulk fluid and the surface of the solid. The key assumptions of the Higbie penetration theory include:
