Response of an electrodiffusion friction sensor to a finite step of the wall shear rate is studied by numerically solving the relevant mass-transfer problem. The resulting numerical data on transient currents are treated further to provide reasonably accurate analytical representations. Existing approximations to the general response operator are checked by using the obtained exact solution.

Synopsis Insect pectinate antennae are very complex objects and studying how they capture pheromone is a challenging mass transfer problem. A few works have already been dedicated to this issue and we review their strengths and weaknesses. In all cases, a common approach is used: the antenna is split between its macro- and microstructure. Fluid dynamics aspects are solved at the highest level of the whole antenna first, that is, the macrostructure. Then, mass transfer is estimated at the scale of a single sensillum, that is, the microstructure. Another common characteristic is the modeling of sensilla by cylinders positioned transversal to the flow. Increasing efforts in faithfully modeling the geometry of the pectinate antenna and their orientation to the air flow are required to understand the major advantageous capture properties of these complex organs. Such a model would compare pectinate antennae to cylindrical ones and may help to understand why such forms of antennae evolved so many times among Lepidoptera and other insect orders.

This paper describes a numerical heat/mass transfer analysis for planar and square duct geometries, found in certain fuel cells. Both developing and fully-developed scalar transport are considered. The solution to the heat/mass transfer problem is presented in terms of normalized conductance as a function of the driving force and wall Reynolds/Peclet numbers.
