Effects of baffle length on mass transfer in a parallel plate rectangular electrochemical cell
Global mass transfer measurements in unbaffled and baffled configurations using different baffle lengths and Reynolds numbers have been made in a parallel plate cell of rectangular geometry. The entry jet arrangement and the repeated 180 degrees changes in direction of the flow, followed by the exit, produces extremely complex hydrodynamics in the cell. A plot of mass transfer coefficient against baffle length shows an increase in mass transfer with baffle length. Comparison of data for the present work with those of other workers for similar devices showed higher mass transfer due to the modifications incorporated in the present cell.
