Abstract
Free convective mass transfer at down-pointing triangular surfaces of different length and down-facing inclination was investigated using the limiting diffusion current technique of mass transfer measurement. The mass transfer rate was observed to be higher for a down-pointing triangular inclined surface over the entire range of inclination than that for an inclined rectangular surface because of the different rleading edger condition. A mass transfer correlation for down-facing inclined triangular surfaces of different length was found to be ShL = 0.774(RaL cos θ)0.25 for the RaL cos θ range from 2 . 106 to 2 . 1011.
