Chemical Engineering
Fenske Equation Calculator
Compute the minimum number of theoretical equilibrium stages required for a binary distillation separation using the Fenske equation. The "best case" stage count at total reflux — actual columns need more stages because they operate at finite reflux.

Chemical Engineering
Sherwood Number Calculator
Compute the Sherwood number to quantify convective mass transfer relative to molecular diffusion. Use it when designing absorbers, membranes, or any system where species transport rates matter.
