in what way biot number is differ from nusselt number?

Answer Posted / venkatesh n

nusselt number quantifies how much the convection heat transfer could be higher when compared with the conduction heat transfer, if the fluid were stationary.
biot number provides a way to compare the conduction resistance within a solid body to the convection resistance external to that body (offered by the surrounding fluid) for heat transfer.
