Abstract
A model is proposed wherein overall mass transfer from single cylinders of benzoic acid placed in parallel flowing water streams depends on different hydrodynamic regimes prevailing along the surfaces of the cylinder. The results for laminar and turbulent conditions are correlated in terms of Sherwood and Reynolds numbers. The mass transfer in the wake region of the cylinder is observed to be significantly different from the boundary layer mass transfer through the lateral surface or the stagnation and boundary layer mass transfer through the leading frontal area.
