The validity range of the boundary layer theory of mass transfer by natural convection has been studied. Limiting currents were measured for deposition of Cd, Tl and Cu on vertical cathodes in unstirred solutions. The concentration ranged from 10−4 to 10−1 molar. Two kinds of electrodes were used: plane electrodes with heights varying from 0,1 to 4 cm and microwires of the type used in the polarography with solid electrodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
