The Surface Rejuvenation Theory of Wall Turbulence for Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer: Application to Moderate and High Schmidt (Prandtl) Fluids
The surface rejuvenation model of the turbulent burst process, already developed for the momentum and heat transfer processes, is applied to the field of mass transfer. The range of applicability of the theory, previously shown to be valid for the Prandtl number range 0.7 to 64 is extended to Schmidt numbers of 6,500 without introducing any new parameters. Concentration and temperature profiles for high Schmidt and Prandtl numbers are in agreement with experimental data. Theoretical expressions for Sherwood and Stanton numbers are calculated and shown to be in agreement with experimental data over five orders of magnitude.
