Pick out the wrong statement?
AForced convection is relatively more effective in increasing the rate of mass transfer, if Schmidt number is larger
BSherwood number in mass transfer corresponds to Nusselt number in heat transfer and Schmidt number to Prandtl number
CIn drying a solid containing moisture above the critical moisture content the number of degrees of freedom is 2
DHot gases at moderate pressure are usually in the shell side of shell and tube heat exchangers. At higher pressure, however, it is customary to put gas in the tube side
Correct answer
A. Forced convection is relatively more effective in increasing the rate of mass transfer, if Schmidt number is larger
Explanation
The correct answer is Forced convection is relatively more effective in increasing the rate of mass transfer, if Schmidt number is larger.
