Engineering
Reynolds Number Calculator
Calculate the Reynolds number — the dimensionless ratio of inertial to viscous forces in a flowing fluid — to determine whether flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent. Use it for pipe-flow design, mixing analysis, drag prediction, and selecting the right friction-factor correlation.

Engineering
Convective Heat Transfer Calculator
Calculate convective heat transfer rate from a solid surface to a flowing fluid (or vice versa) using Newton's law of cooling. Use it to size heat exchangers, evaluate HVAC equipment, or estimate building heat loss.
