An experimental mass transfer correlation was developed for trichloroethylene (TCE) pools dissolving in watersaturatedporous media. A three-dimensional, bench-scale model aquifer previously designed by Chrysikopoulos et al.(Water Resour. Res. 36(7) (2000) 1687) was employed for collection of the experimental dissolution data. The uniqueaspect of the model aquifer design is the formation of a well-defined, circular TCE pool at the bottom of the modelaquifer. Steady-state dissolved TCE concentrations at specific downstream locations within the aquifer were collectedfor each of the seven interstitial velocities considered in this study. For each interstitial velocity, a corresponding timeinvariant overall mass transfer coefficient was determined by fitting the experimental data to an analytical solutionapplicable to nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) pools (Water Resour. Res. 31(4) (1995) 1137). Subsequently, acorrelation relating the time invariant overall Sherwood number to appropriate overall Peclet numbers was developed.Relatively good agreement between the newly developed correlation and experimental data was observed. r 2002Elsevier Science Ltd.
