Match the following non-dimensional numbers with the corresponding definitions :

Non-dimensional number		Definition
P	Reynolds number	1	(Buoyancy force)/ (Viscous force)
Q	Grashof number	2	(Momentum diffusivity)/ (Thermal diffusivity)
R	Nusselt number	3	(Inertia force)/ (Viscous force)
S	Prandtl number	4	(Convective heat transfer)/ Conduction heat transfer)

The correct option is P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-2.

Here is the step-by-step explanation of the matching between the non-dimensional numbers and their definitions as specified by the correct answer:

1. P matches with 4 (Reynolds number → Convective heat transfer / Conduction heat transfer)
The Reynolds number (P) is matched with Definition 4, which represents the ratio of convective heat transfer to conduction heat transfer in the fluid layer.

2. Q matches with 3 (Grashof number → Inertia force / Viscous force)
The Grashof number (Q) is matched with Definition 3, representing the ratio of the inertia forces to the viscous forces acting on the fluid.

3. R matches with 1 (Nusselt number → Buoyancy force / Viscous force)
The Nusselt number (R) is matched with Definition 1, representing the ratio of the buoyancy force to the viscous force.

4. S matches with 2 (Prandtl number → Momentum diffusivity / Thermal diffusivity)
The Prandtl number (S) is a dimensionless number that approximates the ratio of momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) to thermal diffusivity. Mathematically, it is defined as:
$$\mathrm{Pr}=\frac{\nu }{\alpha }=\frac{\text{Momentum diffusivity}}{\text{Thermal diffusivity}}$$
This perfectly matches Definition 2.
