Introduction to Heat and Mass Transfer Week 10
Concentration Boundary Layer No concentration jump condition requires species adjacent to surface to have same concentration as at the surface Owing to concentration gradients depending on fluid motion, the layers away from the wall have lower concentration Through the concentration boundary layer, concentration gradients and diffusive transfer rates are large Outside the boundary layer, concentration gradients and diffusive transfer rates are relatively small Concentration boundary layer grows with distance from the leading edge
