getSchmidt: Returns Schmidt number for a specific gas at a given temperature

Description

Schmidt number is temperature dependant, and is the ratio of the kinematic viscosity of water to a diffusion coefficient. Coefficients are included for He, O2, CO2, CH4, SF6, N2O, Ar, and N2.

Usage

getSchmidt(temperature, gas)

Value

Schmidt number (unitless)

Arguments

temperature

Numeric vector of water temperatures in deg. Celsius

gas
