Sublimation rate of vertically oriented naphthalene cylinders in natural convection
Abstract
The naphthalene sublimation technique was used to determine the rate of mass transfer from three solid naphthalene cylinders in a natural convection environment. The cylinder diameters measured 2.5 cm (1 in), 3.8 cm (1.5 in), and 5 cm (2 in) nominally. Sublimation rates were measured and the mass transfer coefficients were calculated. Correlations were developed for the Sherwood vs. Rayleigh numbers, Sherwood vs. Grashof numbers, and mass transfer coefficient vs. diameter.
