Mass transfer coefficient for equimolar counter-diffusion of water vapour in air is 0.4 m s-1 (based on concentration difference). Mass diffusivity of water vapour in air is 3 ×10-4 m2 s-1. For 100 µm diameter droplet, the Sherwood Number (NSh) is equal to
A
the mass transfer coefficient
B
diameter divided by mass diffusivity
C
one – third of the mass transfer coefficient
D
three times of the mass diffusivity

Correct : c
