Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009205

A dimensionless number that quantifies the ratio of heat transfer to the thermal capacity of a fluid flow. It relates the heat transfer coefficient to the fluid's specific heat capacity and velocity. This number is frequently used in engineering and atmospheric science to analyze convective heat transfer processes.
