Heat and Mass Transfer

In convective mass transfer operations, the Schmidt number ($Sc$) represents the ratio of:

Options:

• (A) Kinematic viscosity (momentum diffusivity $\nu$) to molecular mass diffusivity ($D_{AB}$)
• (B) Thermal diffusivity ($\alpha$) to mass diffusivity ($D_{AB}$)
• (C) Convective mass transfer coefficient to molecular diffusion rate
• (D) Inertial forces to gravitational forces
