The Brinkman number (Br) is a dimensionless number related to heat conduction from a wall to a flowing viscous fluid, commonly used in polymer processing. There are several definitions; one is
where
- μ is the fluid's dynamic viscosity;
- U is the fluid's velocity;
- κ is the thermal conductivity of the fluid;
- T0 is the bulk fluid temperature;
- Tw is the wall temperature;
- Pr is the Prandtl number
- Ec is the Eckert number[1]
It is the ratio between heat produced by viscous dissipation and heat transported by molecular conduction. i.e, the ratio of viscous heat generation to external heating. The higher the value of it, the lesser will be the conduction of heat produced by viscous dissipation and hence larger the temperature rise.[2][3]
In, for example, a screw extruder, the energy supplied to the polymer melt comes primarily from two sources:
- viscous heat generated by shear between parts of the flow moving at different velocities;
- direct heat conduction from the wall of the extruder.
The former is supplied by the motor turning the screw, the latter by heaters. The Brinkman number is a measure of the ratio of the two.
