The Peclet number is used in heat transfer in general and forced convection calculations in particular. It is a function of the two other dimensionless groups, the Reynolds number and the Prandlt number. Determine the functional form of these dimensionless groups, using Rayleigh’s method. The problem depends on the following variables:

■ Liquid density, ρ [=] kg/m3


■ Specific heat of liquid, Cp [=] J/(g °C)


■ Liquid viscosity, μ [=] kg/(m s)


■ Thermal diffusivity, α [=] m2 /s


■ Thermal conductivity of the plate, k [=] W/(m °C)


■ Distance from edge of the plate, x [=] m


■ Liquid velocity, v [=] m/s
