biot number
1Biot number — The Biot number (Bi) is a dimensionless number used in unsteady state (or transient) heat transfer calculations. It is named after the French physicist Jean Baptiste Biot (1774 1862), and relates the heat transfer resistance inside and at the… …

4Biot , Jean Baptiste — (1774–1862) French physicist Biot, a Parisian by birth, grew up during the French Revolution and at the age of 18 he joined the army as a gunner. He left a year later to study mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. On leaving he taught… …
5Fourier number — In physics and engineering, the Fourier number (Fo) or Fourier modulus, named after Joseph Fourier, is a dimensionless number that characterizes heat conduction. Conceptually, it is the ratio of the heat conduction rate to the rate of thermal… …

7Nusselt number — In heat transfer at a boundary (surface) within a fluid, the Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Named after Wilhelm Nusselt, it is a dimensionless number. The conductive… …
8Rayleigh number — In fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh number for a fluid is a dimensionless number associated with buoyancy driven flow (also known as free convection or natural convection). When the Rayleigh number is below the critical value for that fluid, heat… …
9Magnetic Reynolds number — The Magnetic Reynolds number is a dimensionless group that occurs in magnetohydrodynamics. It gives an estimate of the effects of magnetic advection to magnetic diffusion, and is typically defined by: where U is a typical velocity scale of the… …
