Question

Prandtl number in heat transfer analogues to which dimension less number in mass transfer. a) Schmidt number b) Sherwood number c) Peclet number d) Stanton

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Schmidt number

Explanation:

Prandtl number in heat transfer is analogues to Schmidt number in mass transfer.

Prandtl number in heat transfer is the ration of momentum diffusivity to the heat diffusivity.

$P_r = \frac{\nu}{\alpha}$

Whereas, Schmidt number in mass transfer is the ratio of momentum diffusivity to the mass diffusivity.

$S_c= \frac{\nu}{\nu_{AB}}$
