Heat transfer

dimensionless heat transfer coefficient, the Stanton number times the Prandtl number to the two-thirds power, used to compare exchanger surfaces with friction data.

In heat transfer, Colburn j-factor refers to dimensionless heat transfer coefficient, the Stanton number times the Prandtl number to the two-thirds power, used to compare exchanger surfaces with friction data. This meaning comes from Colburn (1933/1964) in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.[1]
