Biot Number given Characteristic Dimension and Fourier Number Formula Elements

Variables
Biot Number
Biot Number is a dimensionless quantity having the ratio of internal conduction resistance to the surface convection resistance.
Symbol: Bi
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Heat Transfer Coefficient
The Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per kelvin. Thus area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place.
Symbol: h
Measurement: Heat Transfer CoefficientUnit: W/m²*K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Time Constant
Time Constant is defined as the total time taken for a body to attain final temperature from initial temperature.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Density of Body
Density of Body is the physical quantity that expresses the relationship between its mass and its volume.
Symbol: ρB
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Heat Capacity
Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Symbol: c
Measurement: Specific Heat CapacityUnit: J/(kg*K)
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Characteristic Dimension
Characteristic Dimension is the ratio of volume and the area.
Symbol: s
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Fourier Number
Fourier Number is the ratio of diffusive or conductive transport rate to the quantity storage rate, where the quantity may be either heat or matter.
Symbol: Fo
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
