CHEMO-MARANGONI CONVECTION .3. PATTERN PARAMETERS - INTERFACE MASS-TRANSFER

A nonlinear problem of hydrochemical Marangoni convection and mass transfer across the liquid-liquid interface in the presence of an interfacial chemical second-order reaction has been considered, Basic parameters for convective flows and concentration fields have been found using the finite amplitude stability method for weakly nonlinear structures. The diffusion flux of a surface-inert component across the interface under hydrochemical convection has been calculated. Correlations between the Sherwood number and Marangoni number as well as other physicochemical and regime parameters have been obtained. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
