When a chemical reaction is coupled with a mass transfer and the chemical reaction is faster than the mass transfer the boundary layer gets depleted of reactants. This depletion of reactants leads to a bigger concentration gap between the two phases thus enhancing the mass transfer. The enhancement factor is a measure for this effect. Basically it is the initial flow divided by the actual flow.
