Stanton Number

The Stanton number is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid.

The Stanton number equals the heat transfer coefficient divided by the product of the specific heat capacity, haracteristic speed and the mass density.

Formula

QuantityVariable["St", "StantonNumberHeatTransfer"] == QuantityVariable["K", "HeatTransferCoefficient"]/(QuantityVariable["c", "SpecificHeatCapacity"]*QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"]*QuantityVariable["ρ", "MassDensity"])
