What is Schmidt Number?

The Schmidt number is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics to characterize the relative effects of momentum diffusivity (viscosity) and mass diffusivity in a fluid. It is defined as the ratio of the kinematic viscosity of the fluid to its mass diffusivity. A low Schmidt number indicates that momentum diffuses faster than mass, which is common in gases, while a high Schmidt number suggests that mass diffuses faster than momentum, typically seen in liquids. The Schmidt number is important in analyzing mass transfer processes, such as diffusion and convection, and is commonly used in chemical engineering, environmental studies, and heat exchanger design. Understanding the Schmidt number helps engineers optimize processes involving mass transfer and fluid flow.
