Mass transfer characteristics are studied theoretically and experimentally for dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in fully developed laminar flow through a gas permeable membrane tubing. The gas transfer rate is correlated with the liquid flow rate and tubing size. Membrane resistance together with liquid phase resistance determine the overall mass transport rate.
