This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Rayleigh Number(t) - Rayleigh Number(t) is a dimensionless parameter that is a measure of the instability of a layer of fluid due to differences of temperature and density at the top and bottom.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Rayleigh Number - Rayleigh Number is a dimensionless parameter that is a measure of the instability of a layer of fluid due to differences of temperature and density at the top and bottom.
Inside Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Inside Diameter is the diameter of the inside surface.
Outside Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Outside Diameter is the diameter of the outside surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Rayleigh Number: 0.25 --> No Conversion Required
Inside Diameter: 0.005 Meter --> 0.005 Meter No Conversion Required
Outside Diameter: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Ra_c = ((L*Ra_l)/(((D_i*D_o)^4)*(((D_i^-1.4)+(D_o^-1.4))^5)))^0.25 --> ((3*0.25)/(((0.005*0.05)^4)*(((0.005^-1.4)+(0.05^-1.4))^5)))^0.25

Evaluating ... ...

Ra_c = 0.333295886104076

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.333295886104076 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.333295886104076 ≈ 0.333296 <-- Rayleigh Number(t)

What is convection

Convection is the process of heat transfer by the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids. The initial heat transfer between the object and the fluid takes place through conduction, but the bulk heat transfer happens due to the motion of the fluid.
Convection is the process of heat transfer in fluids by the actual motion of matter.
It happens in liquids and gases.
It may be natural or forced.
It involves a bulk transfer of portions of the fluid.
