Abstract
Simultaneous transfer of heat and ions to a vertical plate electrode in the region of free convection was treated mathematically by solving the Navier-Stokes, convective diffusion, and convective heat transfer equations. The direction of flow due to heat flux was considered opposite to that due to flux of ions. A criterion equation was proposed for the calculation of the Sherwood criterion with an error smaller than 2%. This was verified experimentally by measuring the limiting current densities for electrolytes containing K4Fe(CN)6 and K3Fe(CN)6 with KOH as base electrolyte.Keywords
