Variables Used

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.
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.
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.
Average Viscosity of Fluid - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Average Viscosity of Fluid is a measure of its average resistance to deformation at a given rate.
Wall Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Wall viscosity is the viscosity of fluid in near wall during the turbulent flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reynolds Number: 5000 --> No Conversion Required
Prandtl Number: 0.7 --> No Conversion Required
