I'm having a little trouble understanding the Sherwood number, (Sh, mass transfer Nusselt number), which gives the ratio of convective to diffusive mass transfer. My question is: given a system that has a molecular diffusion coefficient of D, the effective diffusion coefficient is measured to De because of convective forces that speed up the process. Will the Sherwood number then be proportional to De/D?
