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.

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

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.

In free convection the two dimensionless numbers are grashof's number & prandtl number where it is replaced by reynold's number & prandtl number for forced convection.

In free convection h is function of Pr number and Gr number.
In forced convection h is function of Pr number and Re 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.
Prandtl number, Grashoff's number. In forced convection h is function of Pr number and Re number.

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

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.
