Bottom loss coefficient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Bottom Loss Coefficient = Thermal Conductivity of Insulation/Thickness of Insulation
Ub = KInsulation/δb
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Bottom Loss Coefficient - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin) - Bottom loss coefficient is evaluated by considering conduction and convection losses from the absorber plate in the downward direction.
Thermal Conductivity of Insulation - (Measured in Watt per Meter per K) - Thermal Conductivity of Insulation is defined as the ability of insulating material to transmit heat.
Thickness of Insulation - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of insulation is the difference between the radius of insulation and radius of the body on which it is used .
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Thermal Conductivity of Insulation: 21 Watt per Meter per K --> 21 Watt per Meter per K No Conversion Required
Thickness of Insulation: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ub = KInsulationb --> 21/0.4
Evaluating ... ...
Ub = 52.5
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
52.5 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
52.5 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin <-- Bottom Loss Coefficient
