Stanton Number
Stanton number, abbreviated as St, is a dimensionless number that calculates the heat transfer into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid.
Stanton Number formula
\(\large{ St = \frac { h } {C \; \rho \; v} }\)
\(\large{ St = \frac { h } {C \; G} }\)
Where:
\(\large{ St }\) = Stanton number
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density
\(\large{ C }\) = heat capacity
\(\large{ h }\) = heat transfer coefficient
\(\large{ G }\) = mass velocity
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity
