Abstract

The electrochemically induced unsteady mass transfer to a uniform shear flow from a local wall electrode subjected to a step change in electrochemical potential is studied. Due to neglecting the streamwise diffusion, the problem has two solutions which however differ only insignificantly. The resulting transient characteristics of current densities have a simple analytical form suitable for an efficient data treatment.
