Abstract
Here is investigated the characteristics of double-diffusive convection in thermally-stable stratified horizontal fluid layer. By employing an electrochemical technique, and adopting aqueous CuSO4-H2SO4 solution as electrolyte, experiments on ionic mass transfer have been conducted systematically. And, also a new mass transfer correlation in double-diffusive situations has been derived by extending the model of micro-scales of turbulence, which was proposed by Arpaci. The resulting correlation of the Sherwood number as a function of the thermal Rayleigh number and the solutal Rayleigh number was in good agreement with the present experimental results. The present study provides plausible understanding in controlling both mass and heat transfer rates for practical situations including double-diffusive convection.
