The basis and purpose of the heat-mass transfer experimental analog using subliming napthalene is presumed to be well known. Experiments like the ones described here and comparisons of their results with those of boundary layer theory serve to refine the calibration of the analog and to improve techniques. This technical note correlates the results of two studies on (local) stagnation point mass transfer from circular disks. It also provides some information about the influence of wind tunnel turbulence. The author begins with an illustrative summary that serves as guide through the remainder of the technical note.
