Prandtl number for most of dry gases is about________________?

Correct answer: B. 0.72

  • A. 0.001
  • B. 0.72
  • C. 70
  • D. 150

Explanation

For dry gases, the Prandtl number, Pr = Cpμ/k, is usually close to 0.7 because momentum and thermal diffusivities are of similar magnitude. The value 0.72 is therefore the appropriate estimate.
