Nusselt Number

The Nusselt number is a dimensionless number which measures the enhancement of heat transfer from a surface which occurs in a 'real' situation, compared to the heat transfer that would be measured if only conduction could occur. Typically it is used to measure the enhancement of heat transfer when convection takes place.
\mathit{Nu}_L = \frac{hL}{k_f}
where The Nusselt number can also be viewed as being a dimensionless temperature gradient at the surface.
