Interphase mass transfer was investigated in binary liquid systems using the laminar jet technique. A mathematical model of the mass transfer process was developed and appropriate experimental measurements were made in the cyclohexanol‐water, isobutanol‐water and ethyl acetate‐water systems. Good correspondence was obtained between predicted and measured mass transfer rates, which was taken to validate the use of the model. In particular the results indicated that, within the limits of experimental accuracy, interfacial equilibrium prevails in these systems for contact times on the order of one‐half second.
