The present manuscript presents the application of X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) as a non-intrusive technique to calculate the local and global mass transfer rates around arbitrary shaped particles. The technique is validated on the case of mass transfer around a spherical particle in free convection. A review of available experimental and numerical investigations for spherical particle is reported in comparison to the obtained results. The 3-dimensionality of the microCT approach allows the calculation of the local curvature. The correlation between local curvature and mass transfer rate is, therefore, made experimentally feasible for arbitrary shaped particles.

Abstract

The present manuscript presents the application of X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) as a non-intrusive technique to calculate the local and global mass transfer rates around arbitrary shaped particles. The technique is validated on the case of mass transfer around a spherical particle in free convection. A review of available experimental and numerical investigations for spherical particle is reported in comparison to the obtained results. The 3-dimensionality of the microCT approach allows the calculation of the local curvature. The correlation between local curvature and mass transfer rate is, therefore, made experimentally feasible for arbitrary shaped particles.
