Sherwood number
Input(s)
\(\boldsymbol{L}_{\boldsymbol{o}}\): Characteristic Length (m)
\(\boldsymbol{k}_{\boldsymbol{x}}\): Single-phase Mass Transfer Coefficient \(\left(\mathrm{mol} /\left(\mathrm{m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}\right)\right)\)
\(\boldsymbol{D}_{\boldsymbol{A} \boldsymbol{B}}\): Diffusivity of the Binary System \(\left(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)
c: Total Molar Concentration \(\left(\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
Sh: Sherwood number (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{Sh}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{x}} * \mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{c} * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{AB}}\right)}
\]
