To store the Prandtl number, clear the Results box by clicking the Clear button and then fill it again
as shown below. Select the terms VISC, SPHT, and KXX from the drop down list.Your dialog box
should look like this:

Click on STO, then on M1 on the number pad to store the expression in memory location 1.


  1. Define an expression for the heat-transfer coefficient for Regime 1.


Click on the Clear button to clear the contents of the text entry box. Type in the expression for the
heat transfer coefficient for Regime 1 as shown below. Select the primary variables ({KXX} and {X})
from the drop-down list.The terms M0 and M1 are the terms you stored in memory earlier. To place
them in the equation, click on the INV button, and then RCL, then M0 and M1 respectively.


  1. Define the equation for Regime 2.


Click on the Regime2 tab. First, enter “10” as the upper limit for the regime variable for which this
equation is valid. Notice that the lower limit for this regime is already set as the upper limit from
Regime 1.This feature ensures continuity between the regimes. Type in the expression for the heat
transfer coefficient as shown below. You can use the same stored memory locations M0 and M1 to
replace expressions for Reynold's number and Prandtl number, respectively. Your dialog box should
look like this:
