Eckert number

Eckert number

The Eckert number is a dimensionless number used in flow calculations. It expresses the relationship between a flow's kinetic energy and enthalpy, and is used to characterize dissipation. It is named for the late professor Ernst R. G. Eckert.

It is defined as

:mathit{Ec}=frac{V^2}{c_pDelta T} = frac{mbox{Kinetic Energy{mbox{Enthalpy

where
*V is a characteristic velocity of the flow.
*c_p is the constant-pressure specific heat of the flow.
*Delta T is a characteristic temperature difference of the flow.
