Abstract: Electrochemical mass transfer in turbulent flows and binary electrolytes is investigated. The primary objective is to provide information about mass transfer in the near-wall region between a solid boundary and a turbulent fluid flow at different Schmidt numbers. Based on the computational fluid dynamics and electrochemistry theories, a model for turbulent electrodes channel flow is established. The turbulent mass transfer in electrolytic processes has been predicted by the direct numerical simulation method under limiting current and galvanostatic conditions, we investigate mean concentration and the structure of the concentration fluctuating filed for different Schmidt numbers from 0.1 to 100 .The effect of different concentration boundary conditions at the electrodes on the near-wall turbulence statistics is also discussed.

Abstract: A mathematical model was established to describe the electromagnetic, heat flow and fluid flow phenomena within a combined plasma arc. In the development of the model allowance was made for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and the Maxwell equations. With the ANSYS finite analysis software, specific calculations were presented for a pure argon system, operating in a laminar mode. The distributions of the current density and velocity of combined plasma arc were gotten. In addition, the influences of process parameters, including arc current, argon gas flow rate and the distance from the nozzle outlet to the anode workpiece, on the velocity along the axial direction and current density distribution along radial direction were evaluated, respectively. The results shows that the velocity and current density of combined plasma arc are much dependent on the working current, while are less sensitive to the argon flow rate and the distance from the nozzle outlet to the workpiece anode.
