Popis: Analyses of heat and mass transfer from a drop in an electric field have, to date, dealt only with steady electric fields. This study presents both high and low Peclet number solutions for transport in an alternating electric field. The low Peclet number transport is investigated analytically using a composite, double perturbation expansion. Special analytic methods are developed to consider the previously untreated transport problem where the steady and time-dependent components of the fluid motion are of equal magnitude. A digital computer is employed to obtain exact solutions to the recursive governing equations. These solutions yield accurate results for Peclet number in the range 0–30 and thermal vibration number above 200.
