Characteristics of turbulent mass transfer around a rotating circular cylinder have been investigated by Direct Numerical Simulation. The concentration field was computed for three different cases of Schmidt number, Sc = 1, 10 and 100 at ReR* = 336. Our results confirm that the thickness of the Nernst diffusion layer decreases as Sc increases. Wall-limiting behavior within the diffusion layer was examined and compared with that of channel flow. Concentration fluctuation time scale was found to scale with r+2, while the time scale ratio nearly equals the Schmidt number throughout the diffusion layer. Scalar modeling closure constants based on gradient diffusion models were found to vary considerably within the diffusion layer. Results of an octant analysis show the significant role played by the ejection and sweep events just as is found for flat plate, channel, and pipe flow boundary layers. Turbulence budgets revealed a strong Sc dependence of turbulent scalar transport.

Abstract The effects of ultrasonic frequencies on both the mass transport process and diffusion layer were investigated during electrochemical treatment. The rates of mass transfer at a stainless steel cathode were measured for copper and lead in dilute acidified copper sulphate and lead nitrate solutions at different ultrasonic frequencies. Concentrations in bulk solution were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. By increasing frequencies from 40 to 100 kHz, a high value for the mass transfer coefficient and an effective thinning of the diffusion layer were observed. Higher rates of mass transfer reduced energy consumption. Use of ultrasound with electrochemical processes can provide valuable contributions to remove metallic ions from industrial wastewater without using extra chemicals. The process has efficiently reduced the cost of energy consumption and deposition time.
