Limiting Sherwood and Nusselt numbers

Journal Article · · Lett. Heat Mass Transfer; (United States)
A model for calculating the limiting values of the Sherwood and the Nusselt numbers is proposed. It is argued that these numbers, when based on local driving forces, must approach finite values as the Reynolds number approaches zero. The calculated results are in good agreement with available experimental data.
