Mass transfer rates from single-and hemi-spheres of camphor to air stream were determined from weight loss due to sublimation.
The effect of air turbulence level and that of vibration, propagated to the sphere, on the transfer rates were investigated and reported in the paper.
The experimental conditions employed were as follows:
Diameter of sphere: 10, 15mm
Temperature of fluid: 10-30°C
Reynolds number: 1×10
-2×10
4Schmidt number: 2.80-2.85
From the experimental data the following results were obtained:
1) Mass transfer rates from the single sphere expressed in terms of Sherwood number follow Eq. (7) as proposed early by Frössling, only when no disturbances, such as turbulence or vibration, exist in the system.
2) Effect of turbulence on the transfer rates is obvious at high Reynolds numbers, while that of vibration is obvious at low Reynolds numbers, as shown in Figs. 7 and 6, respectively.
3) Mass flux from the wake region rather than from the forward region of the sphere is affected by these disturbances, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
4) Based on the boundary layer theory, Eqs. (18) and (20) are derived for local and overall transfer rates, respectively, from the forward region, and the results are compared with the observed data in Figs. 6 and 12.
