This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Biot Number - Biot Number is a dimensionless quantity having the ratio of internal conduction resistance to the surface convection resistance.
Heat Transfer Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - The Heat Transfer Coefficient is the heat transferred per unit area per kelvin. Thus area is included in the equation as it represents the area over which the transfer of heat takes place.
Thickness of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - The thickness of Wall refers to the distance between one surface of your model and its opposite sheer surface. Wall thickness is defined as the minimum thickness your model should have at any time.
Thermal Conductivity - (Measured in Watt per Meter per K) - Thermal Conductivity is rate of heat passes through specified material, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Transfer Coefficient: 10 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> 10 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin No Conversion Required
Thickness of Wall: 4.98 Meter --> 4.98 Meter No Conversion Required

What is Unsteady State Heat Transfer?

Unsteady State Heat Transfer refers to the heat transfer process in which a system's temperature changes with time. This type of heat transfer can happen in different forms, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. It occurs in various systems, including solid materials, fluids, and gases. The heat transfer rate in an unsteady state is directly proportional to the rate of temperature change. This means that the heat transfer rate is not constant and can vary over time. It's an important aspect in the design and optimization of thermal systems, and understanding this process is crucial in many research areas, such as combustion, electronics, and aerospace.

What is Lumped Parameter Model?

Interior temperatures of some bodies remain essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process. The temperature of such bodies are only a function of time, T = T(t). The heat transfer analysis based on this idealization is called lumped system analysis.
