The Stanton number, St, is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid. The Stanton number is named after Thomas Stanton (engineer) (1865–1931).: 476 It is used to characterize heat transfer in forced convection flows.

{\displaystyle St={\frac {h}{Gc_{p}}}={\frac {h}{\rho uc_{p}}}}
where
h = convection heat transfer coefficient
G = mass flux of the fluid
ρ = density of the fluid
cp = specific heat of the fluid
u = velocity of the fluid
It can also be represented in terms of the fluid's Nusselt, Reynolds, and Prandtl numbers:
S
t
=
N

R

r
{\displaystyle \mathrm {St} ={\frac {\mathrm {Nu} }{\mathrm {Re} \,\mathrm {Pr} }}}
where
Nu is the Nusselt number;
Re is the Reynolds number;
Pr is the Prandtl number.
The Stanton number arises in the consideration of the geometric similarity of the momentum boundary layer and the thermal boundary layer, where it can be used to express a relationship between the shear force at the wall (due to viscous drag) and the total heat transfer at the wall (due to thermal diffusivity).
Mass transfer
Using the heat-mass transfer analogy, a mass transfer St equivalent can be found using the Sherwood number and Schmidt number in place of the Nusselt number and Prandtl number, respectively.

{\displaystyle u}

Boundary layer flow
The Stanton number is a useful measure of the rate of change of the thermal energy deficit (or excess) in the boundary layer due to heat transfer from a planar surface. If the enthalpy thickness is defined as:
Δ

{\displaystyle \Delta _{2}=\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\rho u}{\rho _{\infty }u_{\infty }}}{\frac {T-T_{\infty }}{T_{s}-T_{\infty }}}dy}
Then the Stanton number is equivalent to

{\displaystyle \mathrm {St} ={\frac {d\Delta _{2}}{dx}}}
for boundary layer flow over a flat plate with a constant surface temperature and properties.
