Abstract

The limiting‐current method is used to measure mass transfer rates by free convection to the faces of a rod‐shaped electrode as commonly used in molten salts. Mass transfer rates to the horizontal (disk) face and the vertical (curved) face are measured separately and in combination. The two rates are not additive; there is significant interaction caused by leading edge effects at the vertical face and by solution streaming from the horizontal to the vertical face. At the horizontal face a new and unusual but well‐characterized type of convective mass transfer, driven by buoyancy, is measured and correlated.
