A mechanism describing the rate of mass transfer to single droplets with a special type of internal circulation is described by a model consisting of a partial differential equation with two independent variables. A Sturm-Liouville system is obtained when the partial differential equation is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by the separation-of-variables technique. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions which determine the solution to this system are obtained by a two variable search procedure on an iterative-analog computer.
