Schmidt number of Stirling engine
Formula
Q
the heat transferred into the working fluid
pbar
the mean pressure of the working fluid
Vsw
the volume swept by the piston
Formula description
Schmidt number is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of momentum diffusivity (viscosity) and mass diffusivity, and is used to characterize fluid flows in which there are simultaneous momentum and mass diffusion convection processes.For Stirling engines, the Schmidt number represents dimensionless specific power.
