Sherwood Number Calculator
Sherwood Number is termed as a dimensionless number which is used in the study of mass- transfer operation.
Input
Output
Formula
- k = Mass Transfer Coefficient
- L = Characteristic Length
- D = Diffusion Coefficient
- Sh = Sherwood Number
Defination / Uses
The Sherwood Number represents the ratio of convective to diffusive mass transport. The Sherwood Numbers is defined as a relationship between a mass transfer coefficient and a characteristic length, such as pipe diameter and a coefficient of diffusion. Sherwood Number is named in the honor of Thomas Kilgore Sherwood.

Defination / Uses
Characteristic length is a crucial dimension in physics that specifies the scale of a physical system. Characteristic length is defined in computational mechanics to force localization of a stress softening constitutive equation. An integration point is referred to the length.
