Optical methods for the study of convective mass transfer boundary layers on extended electrodes

Year: 1971

Type: report

Abstract: Several optical techniques have been combined for the study of mass transfer boundary layers along extended horizontal electrodes in rectangular ducts. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer, supplemented by a focussing critical angle refractometer is used to determine the concentration boundary layer profiles as a fUnction of the distance from the leading edge of the electrode with a consideration of the variation in the cross channel direction. A method for deriving concentration profiles from interferometer fringe patterns with a consideration of light deflection distortions is presented.
