Correlation of Limiting Currents under Free Convection Conditions '
نویسنده
چکیده
Limiting currents were measured for deposition of copper on plane vertical cathodes from unstirred solutions. Electrolyte composition ranged from 0.01 to 0.7 molal CuSO4, 1.38 to 1.57 molal H2SO4, and 0 to 6.38 molal glycerol. Cathode heights varied from 0.25 to 3.0 in. Limiting current densities were from 0.4 to 108 ma/cm 2. A general correlation of the data may be represented by the equation: Nu' = 0.673 (ScGr)m, where Nu', Sc, and Gr are the mass transfer Nusselt, Schmidt, and Grashof numbers, respectively. This result is in good agreement with that predicted from the boundary layer theory for mass transfer by free convection.

In this paper, we study the effects of Hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. By means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic Reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...
