 Fluidization process is widely used by a great assortment of industries worldwide and represents a trillion dollar industry [6].They are currently used in separation, classification, drying and mixing of particles, chemical reactions and regeneration processes;one of these processes is the mass transfer from an immersed surface to a gas fluidized bed. Mass transfer coefficient is a diffusion rate constant that relates the mass transfer rate, mass transfer area, and concentration gradient as driving force.

In the present work modeling and design of packed bed electrochemical reactor operating under limiting current conditions has been accomplished. The conditions at which simulation model is made are: steady state, one-dimensional,flow-through operation.The considered reaction is copper deposition from an electrolyte solution containing copperic sulfate and sulfuric acid as a supporting electrolyte with the assumption of the absence of side reactions, the bed is packed with spherical particles.The effect of three parameters such that: electrolyte

 Compact heat exchangers have been widely used in various applications in thermal fluid systems including automotive thermal management systems. Radiators for engine cooling systems, evaporators and condensers for HVAC systems, oil coolers, and intercooler which are typical examples of the compact heat exchangers that can be found in ground vehicles.
