SUMMARY
The Stanton Number is a dimensionless quantity used in heat transfer, specifically in the analysis of convection heat transfer coefficients. It quantifies the ratio of heat transferred to the fluid to the heat capacity of the fluid. Understanding the Stanton Number is essential for engineers and scientists working with convection processes in thermal systems.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of heat transfer principles
