Unsteady and steady mass transfer by laminar forced flow against a rotating disk

Unsteady mass transfer in a steady flow field of a laminar forced flow against a rotating disk is analyzed by using a very effective solution method. Rigorous numerical solutions have been obtained for steady and unsteady mass transfer for any relative flow strength of external flow and rotation-induced flow for 0.1 ≤Sc ≤ 10000. Simple but very accurate correlation equations of Sherwood number for both the steady and unsteady mass transfer are proposed.
