Abstract
An exact analytic solution of the problem of unsteady convective mass transfer to a spherical droplet (bubble) from an arbitrary three-dimensional linear deformational shear flow, whose undisturbed velocity field is given by a symmetric shear tensor, is obtained in the diffusion boundary layer approximation. The dependence of the mean Sherwood number on time and the Péclet number is determined.
