Local Stanton Number Formula Elements

Variables
Local Stanton Number
Local Stanton Number is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of the fluid.
Symbol: Stx
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Local Heat Transfer Coefficient
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.
Symbol: hx
Measurement: Heat Transfer CoefficientUnit: W/m²*K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Density of Fluid
Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid.
Symbol: ρFluid
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Heat at Constant Pressure
Specific heat at constant pressure is the energy required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a substance by one degree as the pressure is maintained constant.
Symbol: Cp
Measurement: Specific Heat CapacityUnit: J/(kg*K)
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Free Stream Velocity
Free Stream Velocity is defined as at some distance above the boundary the velocity reaches a constant value that is free stream velocity.
Symbol: u
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Local Stanton Number?

Local Stanton Number evaluator uses Local Stanton Number = Local Heat Transfer Coefficient/(Density of Fluid*Specific Heat at Constant Pressure*Free Stream Velocity) to evaluate the Local Stanton Number, The Local Stanton Number formula is defined as the function of local heat transfer coefficient, density, specific heat capacity and free stream velocity. The Stanton number, St, is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid. The Stanton number is named after Thomas Stanton (engineer) (1865–1931). It is used to characterize heat transfer in forced convection flows. Stanton number indicates the degree of amount of heat delivered by fluid when there is heat transfer between solid surface and fluid. The greater Stanton number is, the more effectively heat is transferred. Local Stanton Number is denoted by Stx symbol.
