Applications of the electrolytic method—I. Advantages and disadvantages, mass transfer between a falling film and the wall

Abstract The advantages and disadvantages of the electrochemical—or more exactly—electrolytic method for measuring mass-transfer coefficients are summarized. The most outstanding advantages are: high accuracy and high resolution in respect to time and location. Measurements for the mass transfer between a falling film and the wall with astonishing results are one example for its application to problems of chemical engineering.
