SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the search for Sherwood number correlations at zero wind speed (Reynolds number = 0) for various surfaces, particularly flat vertical and horizontal plates. The established correlation for spheres is given by Sh = 2 + 0.6*Re^(0.5)*Pr^(1/3), which remains valid at v=0. The user seeks a comprehensive list of Sherwood correlations for different surfaces and inquires about the potential correlation between Sherwood and Nusselt numbers to facilitate the calculation of Sherwood numbers using Nusselt numbers and Schmidt numbers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Sherwood number correlations
  • Familiarity with Reynolds number and its implications
  • Knowledge of Prandtl and Schmidt numbers
  • Basic principles of fluid dynamics and heat transfer
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Sherwood number correlations for flat vertical and horizontal plates
  • Investigate the relationship between Sherwood and Nusselt numbers
  • Explore literature on fluid dynamics at zero wind speed
  • Learn about the application of Schmidt number in mass transfer calculations
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, engineers, and students in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer who are looking to understand Sherwood number correlations for various surfaces, particularly in low or zero wind conditions.

Hi!

I've been trying to find Sherwood number corrolations for various surfaces, but it's been surprisingly difficult.

What I've been trying to find now is a Sherwood correlation for flows when Reynolds number = 0 (no wind speed at all).

The case for spheres is been pleasantly easy as Sh = 2 + 0.6*Re^(0.5)*Pr^(1/3) which doesn't cause any problems when the wind speed equals zero.

Is there anyone who would know where to easily find a large list of these corrolations for various surfaces, even at v=0?

I've been searching the net for quite some time and I have also looked through quite a lot of literature. I did personally think that there would have been some list easily accessible somewhere.


edit: flat vertical and horizontal plates would be the important ones

There doesn't seem to be a straight answer to this, but do Sherwood's and Nusselt's number for different surfaces correlate, so I would be able to use Nusselt's number and switch from Prandtl's number to Schmidt's, and that way get my Sherwood number?
