Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the analogy between equations of heat and mass_________________?
Correct answer: D. Reynolds number in mass transfer is analogous to Grashoff number in heat transfer
- A. transfer operations.
- B. Sherwood number in mass transfer is analogous to Nusselt number in heat transfer
- C. Prandtl number in heat transfer is analogous to Schmidt number in mass transfer
- D. Reynolds number in mass transfer is analogous to Grashoff number in heat transfer
- E. Reynolds number remains the same in both heat and mass transfer
Explanation
The usual analogies are Sherwood to Nusselt, Schmidt to Prandtl, and Reynolds to Reynolds. Grashof represents buoyancy effects, not the direct Reynolds-number analogy, so option d is wrong.
