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)

$$ \mathrm{Sh}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{x}} * \mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{c} * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{AB}}\right)} $$
