Growth Sherwood number

Crystal mass growth rate Reynolds number Schmidt number Sherwood number Time... 

Dissolution rate data, for example, are conveniently expressed in this way. The mass transfer coefficient, in the Sherwood number, depends on the solution velocity, u, raised to the power a. It is possible, therefore, that the effect of solution velocity on crystal growth may also be represented by an equation of this type in the region where diffusion influences the growth rate.
