Pr = 𝜈/α
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Momentum Diffusivity - (Measured in Square Meter Per Second) - Momentum Diffusivity most commonly refers to the diffusion, or spread of momentum between particles (atoms or molecules) of matter, often in the fluid state.
Thermal Diffusivity - (Measured in Square Meter Per Second) - Thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Momentum Diffusivity: 4 Square Meter Per Second --> 4 Square Meter Per Second No Conversion Required
Thermal Diffusivity: 5.58 Square Meter Per Second --> 5.58 Square Meter Per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Pr = 𝜈/α --> 4/5.58

Evaluating ... ...

Pr = 0.716845878136201

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.716845878136201 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.716845878136201 ≈ 0.716846 <-- Prandtl Number
