The rate of energy transferred by convection to that by conduction is called
A
Stanton number
B
Nusselt number
C
Biot number
D
Peclet number
Correct Answer: Nusselt number
Nusselt number is the ratio of convection heat transfer to conduction heat transfer.Nu >> 1 , More effective ConvectionNu = 1, For fluid layer represent heat transfer by pure conduction across layer
