Mass transfer from stationary circular cylinders in a submerged slot jet of air
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the isothermal convective mass transfer behavior of a stationary circular cylinder exposed to a submerged two-dimensional air jet. Two kinds of mass transfer measurements were made (i) circumferential with 10 degrees increments and (ii) forward stagnation (impact) point. These measurements were made as a function of the ratio of the distance between the jet exit and the cylinder surface (L) to the nozzle height (D) (L/D : 2-10), the ratio of the cylinder diameter (d) to the nozzle height (d/D : 2.223-10), jet exit Reynolds number (Re-j = 7.77 x 10(4)-1.778 x 10(5)), and jet impact angle (phi : 40-90 degrees). Circumferentially averaged values of mass coefficient were determined by integration. The experimental data was used to produce correlations for both mean and stagnation point Sherwood numbers. A convective mass transfer performance comparison between a uniformed crossflow and a jet flow of the similar approaching velocities has been made.
