Abstract

A new theoretical expression for tubulent mass transfer from a rotating cylinder has been proposed using Levich's three-zone model. The predictions of this model, which has no adjustable parameters, were compared with available experimental data and with other correlations for Newtonian fluids and the agreement was found very satisfactory. Equally good agreement was found between the predictions of our model and the available data for mass transfer from a rotating cylinder under the conditions of maximum drag reduction.
