Oxygen mass transfer from air to water

      Hi!

      I followed the workshop "Mass Transfer Modeling in Bioreactors - Oxygen Dissolution" where a transient simulation is carried out with air and water. When looking at the results the mass concentration of o2 in the water phase seems too high (3.72 kg/m3 = 3720 ppm). I'm assuming that means the dissolved oxygen in water reaches 3720 ppm, which seems wrong. I directly obtained these results from the workshop results data as they were provided in Ansys Learning Hub, I did not manipulate the setup.

      The same thing happens with my own project, where also dissolved oxygen reaches very high values when simulating the mass transfer.

       Am I misinterpreting these values or is there something wrong on the setup model?
