What it calculates

The “Prandtl Number” calculator computes Pr (Prandtl) from 3 parameters: µ, pa·s, c_p, j/(kg·k), k, w/(m·k).

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters µ, Pa·s = 0.001, c_p, J/(kg·K) = 4,186, k, W/(m·K) = 0.6 the result is 6.98 (Pr = μ·c_p/k).
