Description
Summary:Mass transfer has been studied at rotating cylinder electrodes of expanded metal using the reduction of ferricyanide as test reaction. The experimental data are well correlated by an empirical expression between the Sherwood number and the Reynolds number both in terms of the hydraulic diameter as characteristic length and including two additional dimensionless parameters in order to characterize the geometry of the expanded metal. Comparisons of the mass-transfer performance of the expanded metal electrodes with other three-dimensional structures are made.
