    This document discusses boundary layer analogies, which are expressions that relate dimensionless parameters like the skin friction coefficient (Cf), Nusselt number (Nu), and Sherwood number (Sh) to each other. These analogies can be useful tools in convection analysis as they allow engineers to compute wall shear stress and convection heat and mass transfer rates from knowledge of only one of the dimensionless parameters. The document states that as engineers, interest in boundary layer behavior is directed toward Cf, Nu, and Sh, making boundary layer analogies useful convection analysis tools.

    6.7 Boundary Layer Analogies

    As engineers, our interest in boundary layer behavior is directed principally toward the
    dimensionless parameters Cf , Nu, and Sh. From knowledge of these parameters, we may
    compute the wall shear stress and the convection heat and mass transfer rates. It is there-
    fore understandable that expressions that relate Cf , Nu, and Sh to each other can be useful
    tools in convection analysis. Such expressions are available in the form of boundary layer
    analogies.
