Online calculator to mass transfer Nusselt number by using Sherwood number equation.

The Sherwood number (Sh) (also called the mass transfer Nusselt number) is a dimensionless number used in mass-transfer operation. It represents the ratio of the convective mass transfer to the rate of diffusive mass transport, and is named in honor of Thomas Kilgore Sherwood.

Formula:

Sh=KDL

where,
K is the convective mass transfer film coefficient
D is mass diffusivity
L is a characteristic length
