Unsteady Mass Transfer in the Boundary Layer on a Continuous Moving Sheet Electrode

An analysis is presented to investigate the transient mass transfer in the boundary layer on a continuous moving sheet electrode. The unsteady mass flux and details of the concentration field are obtained and have been presented graphically. The asymptotic approach of the transient surface mass flux toward the final steady state has been described. The range of Schmidt numbers investigated was from 0.01 to 1000.
