Abstract
A model which is the solid metal sphere dipped in liquid metal was considered. Liquid metal fills spherical layer space. Direct electric current is passing through the whole model. The formulae for the Stokes stream function for current-carrying liquid, velocity components, concentrations at Lorentz convection diffusion, and the corresponding Sherwood numbers are derived.
