Heat Flux
Heat Flux is the heat transfer rate per unit area normal to the direction of heat flow. It is denoted by the letter "Q".
Symbol: Q
Measurement: Heat Flux DensityUnit: W/m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid
Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid is the resistance to movement of one layer of a fluid over another.
Symbol: μf
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Change in Enthalpy of Vaporization
Change in Enthalpy of Vaporization is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
Symbol: ∆H
Measurement: Energy Per MoleUnit: J/mol
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Density of Liquid
Density of Liquid is mass of a unit volume of a material substance.
Symbol: ρl
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density of Vapour
The Density of Vapour is the mass of a unit volume of a material substance.
Symbol: ρv
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Surface Tension
Surface Tension is the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: Surface TensionUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Heat of Liquid
Specific Heat of Liquid is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
Symbol: Cl
Measurement: Specific Heat CapacityUnit: J/(kg*K)
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Excess Temperature
Excess Temperature is defined as the temperature difference between heat source and saturation temperature of the fluid.
Symbol: ΔT
Measurement: Temperature DifferenceUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Constant in Nucleate Boiling
Constant in Nucleate Boiling is a constant term used in the nucleate pool boiling equation.
Symbol: Cs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Prandtl Number
Prandtl Number (Pr) or Prandtl group is a dimensionless number, named after the German physicist Ludwig Prandtl, defined as the ratio of momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity.
Symbol: Pr
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
