Net movement of mass from one location, usually meaning stream, phase, fraction, or component, to another. Mass transfer occurs in many processes, such as absorption, evaporation, drying, precipitation, membrane filtration, and distillation.

QI/The top surface of the passenger car of a train moving at a velocity of 70 km/h is 2.8 m wide
and 8 m long. The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate of 200 W/m2, and the
temperature of the ambient air is 30°C. Assuming the roof of the car to be perfectly insulated and
the radiation heat exchange with the surroundings to be small relative to convection, determine the
equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car.
