BEST METHODS FOR PRANDTL NUMBER

Journal Article · · Chem. Eng.
OSTI ID:4310548
The Prandtl number, usually defined as N/sub pr/ = Cp mu /k, assembles into one group the properties heat capacity. viscosity, and thermal conductivity of a fluid. The methods for estimating N/sub pr/ for gases. gas mixtures. and liquids are presented, along with a discussion of ways to estimate the Schmidt number. Ns. for use in convective mass transfer calculations. (J.R.D.)
