The transport limited currents at insonated electrodes
Abstract
We investigate the transport limited currents (ILim) observed at electrodes placed ‘face-on’ to a sonic transducer such that a significant convective flux arising from acoustic streaming is observed. Experiments conducted at 25 kHz with turbulent solution flow concerned with the oxidations of iodide or ferrocyanide and the reductions of ruthenium hexammine(III) or the hydrogen ion, all in aqueous solution, over a wide range of conditions, including those of variable kinematic viscosity (υ) controlled by the addition of
