| Definition: | quantity of dimension 1 characterizing the transfer of heat by forced convection in a fluid, defined by , where K is the coefficient of heat transfer, ρ is mass density, v is fluid speed, and cp is specific heat capacity at constant pressure NOTE The Stanton number is the ratio of Nusselt number Nu to Péclet number Pe, thus St = Nu/Pe. It is combined with the Prandtl number in the heat transfer factor (113-04-55).
