Effect Of Surface

The influence of surface roughness on mass transfer on a rotating cylinder electrode apparatus is investigated experimentally for a roughness pattern consisting of grooves parallel to the direction of fluid flow. Mass transfer from four different samples, with roughness values of 0.5 μm, 6 μm, 20 μm, and 34 μm, is measured using the limiting current technique for a range of rotational speeds in NaCl solutions saturated with N2 at pH = 3 and 4. Comparison with available correlations for the Sherwood number in literature (which are independent of surface roughness and are either for specific or arbitrary roughness patterns) shows that H+ mass transfer only correlates well for particular levels of roughness and that their accuracy can be increased if a correlation is utilized which is a function of surface roughening. A new correlation for Sherwood number as a function of the Reynolds number, Schmidt number, and surface roughness is proposed which agrees well with the mass transfer observed from all of the rough surface cases considered for this particular roughness pattern. Complementary experiments in CO2 environments were used to assess the combined limiting current associated with H+ and H2CO3 reduction (with the latter occurring via the buffering effect and being associated with the slow CO2 hydration step). Although the increase in sample roughness clearly leads to an increase in the rate of H+ mass transfer, in the CO2 environments considered, surface roughness is found to have no significant influence on the limiting current contribution from H2CO3, which can therefore be determined from Vetter’s equation across this range of operating conditions.
