In physics, the Stefan number (St or Ste) is defined as the ratio of sensible heat to latent heat.
It is a dimensionless parameter that is useful in analyzing a Stefan problem.
The parameter was developed from Josef Stefan's calculations of the rate of phase change of water into ice on the polar ice caps.
