It is dynamic property of the substance at a given pressure and temperature: 

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--%7B\rm Pr%7D = %7B\rm Pr%7D(p, T)
.

High values mean that heat convection dominates heat conduction.

For most gases over a wide range of temperature and pressure,
 Prandtl number is approximately constant at around

For water in
