The Prandtl Number - Pr - is a dimensionless number approximating the ratio of momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) to thermal diffusivity - and is often used in heat transfer and free and forced convection calculations.

The Prandtl number can for calculations be expressed as

Pr = μ _* c_p / k (1)

where
μ = absolute or dynamic viscosity [kg/(m s)], [lb_m/(ft h)]
c_p = specific heat [J/(kg K)], [Btu/(lb_m^oF)]
k = thermal conductivity [W/(m K)], [Btu/(h ft²^oF/ft)]

Below, Prandtl numbers of nitrogen at varying temperatures and saturation pressure, as well as 1, 10 and 100 bara (14.5, 145 and 1450 psia) are given in figures and tables.
