Eckert number

Input(s)

V: Characteristic Velocity of Flow $(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})$

$\boldsymbol{c}_{\boldsymbol{p}}$: Constant-Pressure Specific Heat of Flow $\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \mathrm{~K}\right)$

$\Delta \mathrm{T}$: Temperature Difference $(\mathrm{K})$

Output(s)

Ec: Eckert Number $=$ Advective Transport/(Heat Dissipitation Potential) (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{Ec}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{p}} * \Delta T} $$
