Stefan Number Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onOnline Stefan equation calculator to calculate stefan number to estimate ratio of sensible heat to latent heat.
The Stefan number is a dimensionless number which predominantly are used in chemical engineering or heat and mass transfer problems. It relates sensible heat to latent heat and is a key number in solving the problem of heat transfer during solidification or melting.
Stefan Number Calculation
Formula:
where,
| cp is the specific heat, (cp is the specific heat of solid phase in the freezing process while cp is the specific heat of liquid phase in the melting process.) |
| ∆T is the temperature difference between phases |
| L is the latent heat of melting |
| Ste is the Stefan number |
