In free convection Nusselt number is a function of Re and Gr, on the other hand it is a function of Re and Pr for forced convection. So, answer C is correct.

@Rohit.
I think Prandtl no = meu. Cp/k.
I think Prandtl no = meu. Cp/k.

Critical value in free convection is Grashoff number only.
Nusselt number is a function of GR No and PR No.
So the answer should be B.
Nusselt number is a function of GR No and PR No.
So the answer should be B.

Refer heat and mass transfer data book CP Kothandraman. It contains all the formulas and relations.

In free convection Reynold's number matters. It is simply function of Grashoff's and prandtl.

Reynolds number = Re = Inertia forces/Viscous forces.
Re = VD/v or (rho*V*D)/mu.
Prandtl number = hl/k.
Grashoff's number = (rho*g*B*l2*dt3)/mu.
Re = VD/v or (rho*V*D)/mu.
Prandtl number = hl/k.
Grashoff's number = (rho*g*B*l2*dt3)/mu.

Would you please explain me Reynold's number, Grashof's number and Prandtl number?

In free convection the two dimensionless numbers are Grashof's number & Prandtl numberwhere it is replaced by Reynold's number & Prandtl number for forced convection. In free convection h is function of Pr number and Gr number.
Prandtl number, Grashoff's number. In forced convection h is function of Pr number and Re number.
Prandtl number, Grashoff's number. In forced convection h is function of Pr number and Re number.
