The equation, Nst = (f/2)/[1 + 5 (Npr - 1) √(f/2)], corresponds to ______________ analogy?

Correct answer: D. Prandtl

  • A. Von-Karman
  • B. Reynolds
  • C. Colburn
  • D. Prandtl

Explanation

The correction factor involving 5(Npr − 1)√(f/2) accounts for the difference between momentum and heat diffusivity in the Prandtl analogy. Reynolds analogy is the simpler St = f/2 form, while Colburn uses a Prandtl-number power correction.
