As specified in the CFX-10 help manual for equation 19 under "ANSYS CFX-Solver, Release 10.0: Theory | Particle Transport Theory |Heat and Mass Transfer |",

mass transfer could also be specified using the equilibrium mass fraction (mE).

any one have any idea or docoument about how equilibrium mass fraction can be calculated?

The calculation of the equilibrium mass fraction is done by the calculation of the equilibrium constant. The relation is:

K = mE/mF

Since you have the fluid mass fraction, you should calculate the constant K in order to obtain the mE.

The calculation of K can be done by a equation of state (Redlich-Kwong) or other simpler rule like Henry's law.

Take a look in basic thermodynamics text books, chapter Vapor-Liquid equilibrium.

Ribeiro.
