This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Stanton Number - The Stanton number is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of the fluid.
External Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - External Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient is the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat in case of convective heat transfer.
Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Fluid Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Fluid velocity is the volume of fluid flowing in the given vessel per unit cross sectional area.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

External Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient: 9.8 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> 9.8 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 4.184 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 4184 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Fluid Velocity: 12 Meter per Second --> 12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Density: 400 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 400 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

St = h_outside/(c*u_Fluid*ρ) --> 9.8/(4184*12*400)

Evaluating ... ...

St = 4.87970044614404E-07

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.87970044614404E-07 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.87970044614404E-07 ≈ 4.9E-7 <-- Stanton Number
