Product of Prandtl number and Reynolds number is also known as? Correct Answer Peclet number
Peclet number is the product of Prandtl number and Reynolds number, in other sense, it is the ratio of the heat transfer by convection to the heat transferred by conduction. So, you can consider a pipe with some wall thickness. The wall conducts heat to the fluid. While the heat can also be carried away by the fluid in motion which is called as advection. If the advection term is dominant, then the Peclet number is going to large and thus the hat transfer from the wall is of less importance. Conversely, the heat transfer form the wall to the fluid can be of higher importance in the case of a smaller Peclet number.
