Are there correlations for Sherwood numbers at v=0 for different surfaces?

Finding Sherwood number correlations for various surfaces at zero wind speed is challenging, particularly for flat vertical and horizontal plates. The existing correlation for spheres is straightforward, but similar data for other surfaces is scarce. The discussion raises the question of whether Sherwood and Nusselt numbers correlate, suggesting a potential method to derive Sherwood numbers using Nusselt numbers by switching from Prandtl's to Schmidt's number. Despite extensive searches in literature and online, a comprehensive list of these correlations remains elusive. The need for accessible data on Sherwood numbers at v=0 for different surfaces is emphasized.

Hi!

I've been trying to find Sherwood number corrolations for various surfaces, but it's been surprisingly difficult.

What I've been trying to find now is a Sherwood corrolation for flows when Reynolds number = 0 (no wind speed at all).

The case for spheres is been pleasantly easy as Sh = 2 + 0.6*Re^(0.5)*Pr^(1/3) which doesn't cause any problems when the wind speed equals zero.

Is there anyone who would know where to easily find a large list of these corrolations for various surfaces, even at v=0?

I've been searching the net for quite some time and I have also looked through quite a lot of literature. I did personally think that there would have been some list easily accessible somewhere.


edit: flat vertical and horizontal plates would be the important ones

There doesn't seem to be a straight answer to this, but do Sherwood's and Nusselt's number for different surfaces correlate, so I would be able to use Nusselt's number and switch from Prandtl's number to Schmidt's, and that way get my Sherwood number?
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
