Mass transfer rates at rough surfaces composed of V‐shaped grooves perpendicular to the direction of flow have been measured in a 25 mm square duct by an electrochemical technique. Roughness heights ranged from 50 to 700 μm, at various pitch/height ratios. The Reynolds number was varied from 2000 to 85,000, at Schmidt numbers of 1600 and 3600. Transfer enhancement depended on both size and shape of the roughness elements; rates four times greater than smooth surface values were observed.
