Q20
A non-dimensional number generally associated with natural convection heat transfer is
A.
Grashoff number
AnswerB.
Nusselt number
C.
Weber number
D.
Prandtl number
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The Grashof number (Gr) is a dimensionless number in fluid dynamics and heat transfer which approximates the ratio of the buoyancy to the viscous force acting on a fluid.
It frequently arises in the study of situations involving natural convection and is analogous to the Reynolds number.
