Abstract
The equations governing laminar flow past a sphere with surface mass transfer were solved numerically for low to moderate Reynolds numbers. The Reynolds number range considered was between 1 and 130. For mass transfer the Schmidt number was set equal to 1. Results of the calculations presented here include wake lengths, angles of separation, drag coefficients, and average Sherwood numbers. These predictions compare well with published experimental observations and other numerical results.Keywords
