Heat and Mass Transfer in Food Processing

Subtopic: Heat and Mass Transfer in Food Processing

Question Statement:

Prandtl number $Pr$ of a fluid is defined as the ratio of:

Options:

  • (A) Kinematic viscosity (momentum diffusivity $\nu$) to thermal diffusivity ($\alpha$), i.e., $Pr = \frac{c_p \mu}{k}$
  • (B) Thermal conductivity to viscosity
  • (C) Heat capacity to latent heat
  • (D) Density to pressure

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Prandtl number $Pr = \frac{\nu}{\alpha} = \frac{\mu / \rho}{k / (\rho c_p)} = \frac{c_p \mu}{k}$, linking the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses.
