Prandtl Number using Diffusivities Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Momentum Diffusivity
Momentum Diffusivity most commonly refers to the diffusion, or spread of momentum between particles (atoms or molecules) of matter, often in the fluid state.
Symbol: 𝜈
Measurement: DiffusivityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Thermal Diffusivity
Thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure.
Symbol: α
Measurement: DiffusivityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
