Homework assignment?
However reverse voltage ratings are often much lower than standard diodes.
I would think that would not be unusual in the "Homework Help" forum.Homework assignment?
Because of their lower forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery time, Schottky diodes are often used in switching power supplies for better efficiency.
Do you mean as a bridge rectifier in an AC to DC power supply? If so, the answer is yes as long as the diode voltage and current ratings are sufficient.can i use this as a replacement for a standard diode to bridge a power source?

If you use it as a full-wave rectifier with the transformer center-tap grounded, and you current is less then 10A, it should work fine. But for this application it has little advantage over a standard junction silicon rectifier.yes (e.g. input 220VAC and secondary 36VAC center tapped)
will STPS2045CT works for this type of transformer?

That looks correct.
It means the basic circuit is correct as drawn, but it's actual performance depends upon your application. For example, if you draw the full 85VA from the output or over 4A, then the ripple will be over 4V with the capacitor filter value you show. I don't know if that would be acceptable for your requirements.does it mean you're not so sure?
do i need to replace the caps with higher capacitance like 20k uF or get a smaller one?if you draw the full 85VA from the output or over 4A, then the ripple will be over 4V with the capacitor filter value you show.
Ripple goes down as capacitance goes up. Doubling the capacitance will cut the ripple approximately in half.if this things happen...
