Schmidt Number Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online physics calculator to calculate the schmidt number from kinematic viscosity and mass diffusivity values.

The Schmidt number (Sc) is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of momentum diffusivity (viscosity) and mass diffusivity, and is used to characterize fluid flows in which there are simultaneous momentum and mass diffusion convection processes.

Calculation of Schmidt Number

Formula:

Sc=vD

where,

Sc = Schmidt number

ν = kinematic viscosity

D = mass diffusivity
