Power number
- For Newton number, see also Kissing number in the sphere packing problem.
The power number Np (also known as Newton number) is a commonly used dimensionless number relating the resistance force to the inertia force.
The power-number has different specifications according to the field of application. E.g., for stirrers the power number is defined as:[1]
with
- P: power
- ρ: fluid density
- n: rotational speed in revolutions per second
- D: diameter of stirrer
