Pe=Re×PrPe=Re\times Pr
Where:
  1. 
    
    is Reynolds number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of inertial forces to friction forces in a fluid flow. It's used to determine whether a flow is laminar or turbulent.
  2. 
    
    is Prandtl number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of two types of diffusion, momentum diffusion and thermal diffusion. The Prandtl number is the heat transfer analogue of the Schmidt number.
  3. 
    
    is Péclet number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of advection to diffusion in a fluid.
