Mass Transfer is the phrase commonly used in engineering for physical processes which involve molecular and convective mixing of atoms and molecules in systems comprised of gases and liquids.
Some common examples of mass transfer are evaporation of water from a pond to the atmosphere; the diffusion of chemical impurities in lakes, rivers, and oceans from natural or artificial point sources; and the pleasant smells of perfume or aftershave encountered in a social setting.
