Thermal entry length Formula Elements

Variables
Length
Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reynolds Number Dia
Reynolds Number Dia is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.
Symbol: ReD
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter
Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
