The mass transfer parameters of both gas and liquid phases affect the mass transfer flux of CO 2 in absorption processes. In this study, an accurate correlation is proposed to calculate the CO 2 mass transfer flux in an absorption‐reactive process by methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution using the Buckingham π theorem. The various parameters include film parameter, CO 2 loading, concentration ratio, partial‐to‐total pressure ratio, film thickness ratio, and diffusion ratio which are incorporated in the model. An average absolute relative error of 4.4 % for the calculation of mass transfer flux was stated.
