Online stanton equation calculator to calculate Stanton Number for fluid dynamics problems.

The Stanton number, St, is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid. The Stanton number is named after Thomas Edward Stanton (1865–1931). It is used to characterize heat transfer in forced convection flows.

Stanton Number Calculation

Formula:

St=hρ·u·cp

where,
h = convection heat transfer coefficient
ρ = density of the fluid
u = speed of the fluid
cp = specific heat of the fluid
St = stanton number
