Does the coalburn factor increase with temperature? If so, why?

Are you by any chance referring to the Chilton and Colburn J-factor analogy in heat transfer?

Yes..the j-factor. Does it increase with temperature?

Hi,

 

From the definition of  J factor = Nu/( Re *Pr^1/3) you may find the answer , in particular considering the impact of the temperature on the viscosity !

 

Hope this helps

@breizh.. why dont we consider the change of other factors like density, thermal conductivity with temperature?

Hi,

You need to evaluate which property is more affected by temperature change. To me it's viscosity .
