According to Chilton-Colburn analogy for mass transfer, NSt.NSc 2/3 is equal to_________________?

Correct answer: B. f/2

  • A. f
  • B. f/2
  • C. 2f
  • D. 1/f

Explanation

The Chilton-Colburn analogy equates the mass-transfer j-factor, St_m Sc^(2/3), to half the Fanning friction factor, f/2. Confusing Fanning and Darcy friction factors commonly produces a factor-of-two error.
