Formula
- v = Velocity
- ρ = Density
- Cp = Heat Capacity
- D = Characteristic Length
- k = Thermal Conductivity
- Pe = Peclet Number
Defination / Uses
The concept of velocity for an object is the rate at which the object's position changes in relation to a frame of reference and time. It's a vector quantity, which means we need both magnitude (speed) and direction (orientation) to define velocity. Its SI unit is meter per second (m/s). When the amount or direction of a body's velocity changes, the body is said to be accelerating.

Characteristic length is a crucial dimension in physics that specifies the scale of a physical system. Characteristic length is defined in computational mechanics to force localization of a stress softening constitutive equation. An integration point is referred to the length.

Defination / Uses
The Peclet Number is the ratio of the rate of advection of a physical quantity by a flow to the rate of diffusion of the same quantity driven by an appropriate gradient. It takes into account heat capacity, density, fluid velocity, and other physical factors. The sign "Pe" stands for Peclet Number.
To put it another way, Peclet Number is a dimensionless group that is used to scale up chemical reaction similitude from pilot-plant data to commercial-sized units.
