Particle of Arbitrary Shape in a Linear Shear Flow

Particle of Arbitrary Shape in a Linear Shear Flow 

The mass exchange for a particle of arbitrary shape freely suspended in a linear shear flow described by (4.5.1) was considered in [5], The three-term expansion 

For a spherical particle of radius a, we have I = 4ir Sh, and the expansion (4.5.4) turns into (4.5.2) with accuracy to terms of the order of Pe inclusively. In the case of nonspherical particles, one can calculate Jo = U/a by using the results of Section 4.3 (e.g., see Table 4.2).
