Stanton Number using Basic Fluid Properties Calculator

Calculate Stanton Number









Formula

The formula to calculate the Stanton Number (St) is:

\[ St = \frac{h_{\text{outside}}}{c \cdot u_{\text{Fluid}} \cdot \rho} \]

Definition

The Stanton number is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of the fluid.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ St = \frac{9.8}{4184 \cdot 12 \cdot 400} \approx 4.87970044614404 \times 10^{-7} \]

The Stanton Number is approximately \(4.87970044614404 \times 10^{-7}\).
