Theoretical study of free convection mass (heat) transfer about vertical axis-symmetric electrodes having irregular surface

The free convection laminar flow about vertical axis-symmetric bodies is analysed. In order to obtain a universal solution, the analysis is carried out over a vertical cone having surface irregularity of a sinusoid form, since almost all surface geometry may be represented by Fourier series. The concentration (temperature), velocity distributions and rate of mass (heat) transfer through the electrode surface are computed.
