\( Be \;=\; \dfrac{ \Delta p \cdot l^2 }{ \mu \cdot \alpha }\) (Bejan Number - Heat Transfer) \( \Delta p \;=\; \dfrac{ Be \cdot l^2 }{ \mu \cdot \alpha }\) \( l \;=\; \sqrt{ \dfrac{ Be \cdot \mu \cdot \alpha }{ \Delta p } }\) \( \mu \;=\; \dfrac{ \Delta p \cdot l^2 }{ Be \cdot \alpha }\) \( \alpha \;=\; \dfrac{ \Delta p \cdot l^2 }{ Be \cdot \mu }\) |
