For turbulent mass transfer in pipes, the Sherwood number depends on the Reynolds number as___________________?
Correct answer: A. Re0.83
- A. Re0.83
- B. Re0.53
- C. Re0.33
- D. Re
Explanation
For turbulent flow in a pipe, common mass-transfer correlations have the form Sh proportional to Re^0.83 Sc^n. Thus the Reynolds-number exponent is approximately 0.83, not the simpler one-third power used in some laminar correlations.
