Nusselt Number Calculator Travis Kenworthy and Matthew Christensen
The Nusselt Number • Dimensionless surface temperature gradient • Important parameter used to find convective heat transfer coefficient
A Nusselt Number for Every Situation • The problem addressed is that there is a complicated Nusselt number equation for every situation • The Nusselt number calculator helps save time by calculating the Nusselt Number for various external flow situations
Easy as a Click of a Button • Just Enter: • the Reynolds # • The Prandtl # • Then select your geometry
Follow the Prompt • Follow the prompt in the bottom message boxes
Calculate The Nusselt Number • Geometry options include: • Flat Plate • Cylinder • Sphere • For each of these geometries various heating and flow condition options allow the calculation of the Nusselt # for several external flow situations • After following all of the prompts • Press “Calculate Nusselt #”
All Done • Nusselt Number Calculated
