The ratio of heat transfer coefficient to the flow of heat per unit temperature rise due to the velocity of the fluid is known as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stanton number is a dimensionless number that relates the heat transfer coefficient to the product of fluid velocity and specific heat capacity at constant pressure, essentially characterizing the ratio of heat transferred to the fluid to the thermal capacity of the fluid.
