Prandtl Number of Oil

The Prandtl number is correlated with the temperature of the engine oil.The prandtl number is a dimensionless number defined as below: Pr = momentum diffusivity / thermal diffusivity = υ/α   ‘υ’=  momentum diffusivity or kinematic viscosity. ‘α’ = thermal diffusivity. The prandtl number of engine oil is high which lead to higher convective heat transfer. As the viscosity of the engine oil decrease with temperature increase the momentum diffusivity over thermal diffusivity which make the engine oil a good choice for heat conduction. Prandtl Number of Oil Table *Property values from Incropera, F. P., and DeWitt, D. P., Fundamentals…

Prandtl Number Calculator

Prandtl Number Calculator Use our online Prandtl Number Calculator: Prandtl Number Equation The Prandtl Number (Pr) called also Prandtl group is a dimensionless number, introduced by the physicist Ludwig Prandtl. The Prandtl Number equation/formula is the ratio of two transport properties, the kinematic viscosity and the thermal diffusivity. The first propritie affect the the velocity distribution and the second property affect the velocity distribution. In other words it evaluate the relation between the two main properties the momentum transport and thermal transport capacity of a fluid. Pr = v / α (1) Where : v : momentum diffusivity, (kinematic viscosity).…

Antoine Equation Calculator

Antoine Equation Calculator Saturated Vapor Pressure Calculator online: Antoine Equation Definition: Definition of Antoine Equation Definition provided by wikipedia: “The Antoine equation is a class of semi-empirical correlations relating the vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. The Antoine equation is derived from the Clausius–Clapeyron relation. The equation was presented in 1888 by the French engineer Louis Charles Antoine (1825–1897).” The Antoine equation is: Antoine Constants: Comp. Name : Antoine Constants A : Antoine Constants B: Antoine Constants C: Antoine Constants 1-BUTENE. 15,7564 2132,4200 -33,1500 Antoine Constants 1-BUTYNE. 16,0605 2271,4200 -40,3000 Antoine Constants 1-HEXANOL. 18,0994 4055,4500 -76,4900 Antoine Constants 1-HEXENE.…
