This paper reviews a number of experimental studies concerned with the influence of turbulence on heat and mass transfer from a particle in a fluid medium. Heat and mass transfer rates, as affected by free‐stream turbulence, undoubtedly reflect changes in the ambient flow structure around a body. Attempts have been made, therefore, to relate the established effects of turbulence on the various parts of the flow field around a particle to the variations in heat and mass transfer rates observed for investigations conducted under different conditions. A review has also been made of the effects of periodic oscillations on heat and mass transfer rates in an attempt to provide greater insight into the more complex effects of turbulence.
