3.
Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the analogy between equations of heat and mass transfer operations.
Sherwood number in mass transfer is analogous to Nusselt number in heat transfer.
Prandtl number in heat transfer is analogous to Schmidt number in mass transfer.
Reynolds number in mass transfer is analogous to Grashoff number in heat transfer.
Reynolds number remains the same in both heat and mass transfer.
