Synonym: Fourier number (Fo) = Dimensionless Fourier time (tD)
Dimensionless quantity characterising transient (time dependant) Heat Transfer:
| (1) | \mbox{Fo} = t_D = \frac{a \cdot t}{L^2} |
where
t | Heat Transfer transient time |
|---|---|
a | Thermal Diffusivity |
L | Characteristic length of Heat Transfer |
