Are there correlations for Sherwood numbers at v=0 for different surfaces?

AI Thread Summary
Finding Sherwood number correlations for various surfaces at zero wind speed is challenging, particularly for flat vertical and horizontal plates. The existing correlation for spheres is straightforward, but similar data for other surfaces is scarce. The discussion raises the question of whether Sherwood and Nusselt numbers correlate, suggesting a potential method to derive Sherwood numbers using Nusselt numbers by switching from Prandtl's to Schmidt's number. Despite extensive searches in literature and online, a comprehensive list of these correlations remains elusive. The need for accessible data on Sherwood numbers at v=0 for different surfaces is emphasized.

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 corrolation 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?
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
