Abstract
The mass transfer of a dilute species in a liquid in a propagating crack is treated. The analysis includes the effect of convective flow of the liquid. The results of the calculations show that the crack tip is devoid of the minor species, and that the mass flux of this component is also negligible in this region. Therefore, minor components could not behave as “critical” species in such systems. Calculation of the flux distribution allowed the determination of the potential distribution in the crack.
