Analogies are useful tools
1.An aid to understand transfer phenomena
2.A sound means to predict behavior of
systems for which limited quantitative

CONCLUSIONS
1. At NPr = NSc = 1, the mechanisms for mass, heat,
and momentum are identical
2. For other fluids, transfer processes differ in some
manner functionally related to the Pr and Sc
numbers.
