Variables Used
Stanton Number - The Stanton Number is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of the fluid.
Local Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Local heat transfer coefficient at a particular point on the heat-transfer surface, equal to the local heat flux at this point divided by the local temperature drop.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid.
Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Free Stream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Free Stream Velocity is defined as at some distance above the boundary the velocity reaches a constant value that is free stream velocity.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Local Heat Transfer Coefficient: 500 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> 500 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin No Conversion Required
Density of Fluid: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 4.184 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 4184 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Free Stream Velocity: 70 Meter per Second --> 70 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
St = hx/(ρfluid*c*u) --> 500/(1.225*4184*70)
Evaluating ... ...

What is Reynolds analogy?

Reynolds analogy describes a relationship between heat transfer and friction coefficients when a fluid is flowing over the surface of a flat plate or inside the tube. Reynolds analogy can be used for both laminar as well as for turbulent flow it is misconceptualized that it can only be used for turbulent flow.
