Mathematical modeling and optimization of the extraction of nimbin from neemseeds using supercritical carbon dioxide with methanol as co-solvent is the subject of this study. At first a correlation for Sherwood number (Sh) as a function of Reynolds number (Re) and Schmidt number (Sc) was proposed us...
