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