Abstract
A previously described method for quantifying uptake of dilute photogr aphic developer solutions (Dasgupta et al., Int J Heat Mass Transfer 1 995;38:2029-37) [1] was applied to the floor of a recirculating flow t ank near a submerged parallelepiped. The method was calibrated for a n ew combination of film and developer. Unlike [1], we found it preferab le to include an autocatalytic term in the rate equation for silver de velopment to adequately describe the kinetics of development. A map of mass transfer resistance between the bulk fluid and the flow tank flo or was generated for future comparison to CFD predictions. (C) 1998 El sevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
