Mass transfer in circular conduit with co-axially placed disc as turbulent promoter

Abstract: Studies on mass transfer due to the presence of co-axially placed disc as insert promoter in circular conduit were presented in this paper. Limiting current data were obtained at various flow rates using promoters of varying disc diameter and location of the disc. Wide range of variables are covered, disc diameter varied as 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04m and location of the disc varied as 0, 0.25 and 0.5m. Augmentation achieved is sixfold when the diameter of the disc is 0.03m and location of the disc 0.25m. A semi-theoretical model is developed in terms of geometric parameters and presented.
