Nusselt Number by Sieder-Tate for Shorter Tubes Formula Elements

Variables

Nusselt Number

The Nusselt Number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer at a boundary in a fluid. Convection includes both advection and diffusion.

Symbol: Nu

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Nusselt Number

Reynolds Number

The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behavior is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.

Symbol: Re

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Reynolds Number

Prandtl Number

The 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.

Formulas to find Prandtl Number

Diameter of Tube

Diameter of tube is defined as the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O.D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″).

Symbol: d

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Diameter of Tube

Length of Cylinder

Length of Cylinder is the vertical height of the Cylinder.

Symbol: l

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Length of Cylinder

Fluid Viscosity (at fluid bulk temperature)

Fluid Viscosity (at fluid bulk temperature) is the resistance offered by the fluid with respect to the fluid bulk temperature(in kelvin).
