Lewis number is used in combined heat and mass transfer calculations. It is equivalent to (Sc/Pr). It is normally defined in one of the following forms :

 

Lewis Number

or

Lewis Number

 

Where:

alpha

=

Thermal diffusivity

Cp

=

Heat capacity

Dv

=

Diffusivity

k

=

Thermal Conductivity

rho

=
