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)

Arguments
