What is Nusselt number ?

Correct answer: B. hD/k

  • A. CP. μ/k
  • B. hD/k
  • C. h. CP/μ
  • D. CP. μ/h

Explanation

The Nusselt number compares convective heat transfer with conduction across a fluid layer and is defined as Nu = hD/k, using the characteristic length D. The other expressions correspond to combinations of properties, not this dimensionless ratio.
